Mitnik's Monthly Brushstrokes - Ep 2 - It's Not About Being Pretty

In this month’s podcast, “It’s Not About Being Pretty”, Keith shares a way for younger or less experienced lawyers to clear the obstacle of performance anxiety. The parts of trial that matter most - asking the Why questions, creating the language of the case, and building a framework to withstand the onslaught that is to come - don’t happen under the bright lights and fast pace of the courtroom; take place before trial, in private, where there is time to think about it, talk about it and get advice about it. Realizing you can do what it takes to win, even if it isn’t yet polished, will give you the peace and confidence to try cases while you’re building up experience. It’s about winning, not putting on a show. Let the show part go and let yourself go to trial, knowing you’re ready to do the parts that really count, right now.
