Episode 15: Attorney Josh Schiffer on What Lawyering is Supposed to Look Like
“Shaking loose the terrible methods taught in law school for direct examination was a giant benefit for me from TLC. It’s by practicing this stuff that you get comfortable with it and is now much more second nature for me. I don’t even remember how to do some of the bad directs and cross-examinations that they taught in law school because you just get rid of it in your brain. You realize direct examination is nothing but a conversation with a direction. – Josh Schiffer, 2007 TLC Graduate
