The word "trial" comes from the 12th Century Gallo-Roman triare, meaning, "to separate out [the good] by examination."
Daniel Small, an almost-teacher and veteran litigator, has combined his career defining cases with compelling behind-the-scenes moments to inspire the next generation of trial lawyers. He attempts to entertain, explore, and share lessons from this process of examination.
Throughout many of these stories and lessons learned, run three general Core Themes:
- Know your court.
- Tell your story.
- Do the right thing.
