It is important to understand how to clearly present a case, whether as a litigator in trial or when writing a brief to the court.  Professor Lewis Langham noted that “[t]here are a lot of moving parts that go into presenting a case before a jury. It's the law in motion. You may learn how to do an opening statement, direct examination and cross examination of a witness and later conclude with closing arguments. The key is, can you put all the moving parts of the trial together, that's not confusing to a jury and that best represents your theory of the case. The lawyer that can do this is called a Cooley Trained Lawyer.”
