Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Winning with resilience while ready for danger- Fleet Maull
Q: Fleet, is there anything short of having a daily spiritual practice to prepare a criminal defendant for dealing with all the angst and heebie-jeebies about facing possibility of a long time in prison?
Even if someone starts meditation early, the real protection comes from ongoing practice and maintaining awareness, which helps them stay present, regulate stress, and respond thoughtfully rather than reactively as cases unfold.
Winning without wishful thinking and by converting hurdles- Eric Davis
Q: What inspired your shift from prosecutor to defense, and what role did the TLC play in that transformation?
The realization that the system's choices could profoundly impact lives, plus the profound lessons from the Trial Lawyers College, opened a path to practice that prioritized truth, empathy, and more effective trial advocacy.
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.
