Professor Lipson is the author of Best Seller “Is It Admissible?” in addition to Best Seller “Guerrilla Discovery” (James Publishing); also, author of books “Documentary Evidence” and “Demonstrative Evidence” (LexisNexis, Matthew Bender). In addition, Lipson is the creator and programmer of the classic videogame series “Objection!”
Academically, Evidence is a class; in actual practice it is a battle. Socratically, it is a nice time-consuming exchange that leads to questions and more questions but no answers (Prof. Kingsfield, Paper Chase); in actual practice, it is a split-second fight for which law school provides little, if any training. For these reasons, there seems to be an overwhelming percentage of lawyers who don't know how to make objections, are too slow, or cannot distinguish between proper objections and rambling, speaking objections.
With only an hour or so of time allotted, this lecture is designed to strip away the philosophical and academic niceties of your 6 credit hours of law schooling, and prepare you for the split-second evidentiary challenges of trials, hearings, and discovery depositions.
This presentation does not, in any way or manner, advocate or condone disruptive, obstructionist or Rambo-like tactics. On the contrary, the best lawyers by far are the ones who are able to negotiate victories and obtain what their clients want without firing a shot. If you have always been treated with the respect that such lawyers deserve, or if you happen to enjoy getting slapped around in court or in depositions, perhaps this lecture is not for you.
