The best lawyers are storytellers, Lubet explains, who take the raw and disjointed observations of witnesses and transform them into coherent and persuasive narratives." "Lubet demonstrates that the craft of lawyer storytelling is a legitimate technique for determining the truth and - not at all coincidentally - for providing the best defense for the attorney's client. Storytelling can accomplish three important purposes at trial. It can help to establish a "theory of the case," which is a plausible and reasonable explanation of the underlying events, presented in the light most favorable to the attorney's client. Storytelling can also develop the "trial theme," which is the lawyer's way of adding moral force to the desired outcome. Most importantly, storytelling can provide a coherent "story frame," which organizes all of the events, transactions, and other surrounding facts of the case into an easily understandable narrative context." "To illustrate the various challenges, benefits, and complexities of storytelling, Lubet elaborates the stories of six different trials. Some of the cases are real, including John Brown and Wyatt Earp, while some are fictional, including Atticus Finch and Liberty Valance. In each chapter, the emphasis is on the narrative itself, emphasizing the trial's rich context of facts and personalities. The overall conclusion, as Lubet puts it, is that "purposive storytelling provides a necessary dimension to our adversary system of justice.""--Jacket
