Public speaking skills every lawyer should master
For every lawyer who thinks they have oral presentations down pat, there’s another who has anxiety about talking in front of a crowd. And they both need help.
As an attorney and a formal federal law clerk, Faith Pincus gives lawyers the tools they need to succeed at public speaking. Her book, Being Heard: Presentation Skills for Attorneys, distills 25 years of coaching knowledge into one compact volume of tips and tricks.
In this episode of the Modern Law Library, ABA Publishing’s Ashley Alfirevic speaks to Pincus about how to ditch the notecards, engage the audience and ask the right type of rhetorical questions.
Between oral arguments and CLE seminars, legal professionals are constantly presenting. In Pincus’ experience, lawyers always need help with their speech’s organization and preparation, regardless of whether they feel confident enough to wing it or nervous enough to carry novelesque notes.
