At the NLADA appellate defender advance-track training, they brought in an acting coach to help teach oral argument technique. Extremely helpful in teaching how to feel at home at any court’s podium.

Sometimes, feelings matter.

At an NLADA conference, an acting coach suggested I use my then-young kids’ stories as a way to slow my tempo before oral arguments. I haven’t done it in a while, but maybe I should try one of these before my next argument.
