Lawyers lost in the maze of formal discovery procedures should adopt the game-changing possibilities of informal discovery. • Your right brain is there just waiting to be used. Tap your right brain at trial and you just may see amazing results in your case. The right brain advantage begins prior to trial and continues dramatically through opening and closing statements. • The trial lawyer’s secret tool for obtaining amazing results and building career-long clients is the effective use of mediation.
