26. Direct Hit, with Mike Beckwith In Episode 26 of May the Record Reflect, we’re joined by trial veteran Mike Beckwith to talk about one of the foundations of trial practice: the direct examination. As a Chief Assistant United States Attorney with the Department of Justice, Mike has litigated hundreds of cases before trial courts in multiple federal districts and the Ninth Circuit. Tune in to find out why he thinks direct examination is crucial to your case, the best way to deal with bad facts and unlikeable witnesses, and how to comport yourself on your feet and in the moment. Topics5:35     Where your case is won6:55     Why direct is harder than it seems10:44  How to keep direct interesting 13:40  Humanizing a despicable witness18:50   Objections from opposing counsel21:08  Visual aids 24:23  Body language27:17  If you’ve stunk up your direct30:17  Introducing bad facts34:43  Redirect36:09  Signature sign-off questionsQuote“With a good witness, you feel like Clarence Darrow.
