Anatomy of a Trial is an essential guide that examines the key phases of jury trials—voir dire, opening statements, direct and cross-examination, and closing arguments—in the context of two particular cases, one criminal and the other civil. The criminal case involves highly complex subjects and law, and is a matter of simplification and storytelling for the jury. The civil case illustrates that most cases hinge on the credibility of witnesses, and also showcases the critical importance of experts in trials of a technical nature. The assessment of these criminal and civil cases highlights their differences, and illustrates where the welldeveloped principles of rhetoric are fundamental to success at trial, no matter the nature of the litigation.
