    Product Description


    "David Mann is fantastic. Should be on everyone’s radar."

    "Practical advice in a well-organized way aimed at achieving success. Made me feel empowered to engage the material. Great ideas."

    The best lawyers agree: without skilled delivery, the soundest arguments fail. In this entertaining and compelling program, David Mann focuses on the goal of persuading juries and engaging witnesses by presenting complex material with the ease of conversation. Mann provides you with tools for powerful, engaging presentations, incorporating role-play of opening statements and direct/cross-examination. He also exposes you to sound methods for more complete depositions, stronger closing arguments, and more illuminating client interviews.

    As he does regularly for lawyers preparing for trials across the country and in his popular classes at Loyola School of Law and for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, David incorporates concepts drawn from his successful career in performance and public speaking. Examine the essentials of storytelling, using past masters as examples, and learn how to use vocal inflection and body language to tell the story between the words.
