Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Winning with MacGuffins and heroes' journeys- Andrew Mishlove for the DUI defense
Q: How did Trial Lawyers College influence your practice and approach to experts and cross-examination?
TLC introduced a shift from a traditional, pedigree-focused view of experts to a trust-based, narrative approach. Mishlove emphasizes storytelling, structure, and seeing trials as cinematic experiences where the jury is central, using methods like psychodrama to craft compelling cross-examinations and openers.
Winning with MacGuffins and heroes' journeys- Andrew Mishlove for the DUI defense
Q: What brought you to law school and to criminal defense, specifically DUI defense?
The guest describes growing up during the late 60s, being drawn to civil liberties and environmental passions, starting in law with an interest in courtroom work, discovering a love for criminal defense through clinical programs, and ultimately focusing on DUI defense due to personal career evolution and interest in impactful, human-centered trials.
Winning by standing up to police- Afroman's / Joseph Edgar Foreman's lawyer David Osborne, Jr.
Q: What role did deposition strategies play in the defense's preparation?
Depositions were used to anticipate plaintiff arguments and to uncover contradictions, with a focus on keeping control of the witness and ensuring the timeline and evidence were presented coherently. The defense also prepared for potential appellate issues by aligning questions with case-law foundations.
Winning by standing up to police- Afroman's / Joseph Edgar Foreman's lawyer David Osborne, Jr.
Q: How did the defense approach jury selection to shape the trial outcome?
The defense focused on assembling a jury likely to critically evaluate evidence, including demographics and background (e.g., younger jurors, individuals with training in weighing evidence). They used a mix of voir dire and focus-group insights to align with appealing pathways and to frame the case in terms of constitutional protections and civil liberties.
Winning with fierce civility- Coach Joe Weston talks with Jon Katz
Q: How do you handle high-grade aggression in negotiations or courtroom settings?
First, assess safety; if unsafe, remove yourself. Then pivot by regulating your nervous system, meeting the other where they are, and pursuing collaborative buy-in to reach win-win solutions.
