courtroom advocacy
Courtroom advocacy involves representing a client’s interests during legal proceedings by presenting evidence, making legal arguments, and persuading the judge or jury of a particular position. It requires a clear understanding of the law, effective communication skills, and strategic thinking to highlight strengths and address weaknesses in a case. Advocates aim to interpret and apply legal rules to support their client’s goals, whether defending innocence, proving liability, or seeking the best possible outcome. The process blends legal knowledge, ethical conduct, and persuasive technique to influence judicial decision-making.
