Abstract
The most difficult task for me as a future litigator is to define a frame of reference within which to practice the art of advocacy. While law school offers many courses in trial practice, mock trial, and litigation drafting, there is little opportunity to coalesce these segments into a complete strategy for trial advocacy. In order to begin to make sense of the pieces, I needed to define a working model within which to place them. The most obvious place to start was with the oft quoted analogy that trial is civilized combat.
