Episode 48 - Bad Facts (with superstar trial lawyer Ben Rubinowitz)
(0:00:00) Spencer reflects on his return to coaching and talks about a new NALAE survey. (0:13:15) The Break: Who won the seven regions this past weekend? Who killed the cows (i.e., updated case balance numbers)? And where did all the judges go? (0:17:30) Suggested Plagiarism: Ben Rubinowitz is a star trial lawyer -- four-time winner of Best Lawyers' Lawyer of the Year and selected to the Inner Circle of Advocates. With Spencer as his test subject, he explains how to make bad facts really hurt on cross. (0:46:14) Predictions are Hard. Last weekend, Rob and Phil experienced about as much pain as two coaches can endure. But these troopers still came on to make their predictions for a decisive Week 3. (1:01:39) Mailbag! We answer reader questions about attire, re-cross, banquets, and more. (1:08:59) Here's an Idea. Spencer tries to solve a problem by making it much, much worse.
