The advocate
Know your case before opposing counsel does.
A matter is won element by element. Crift builds the claim, the burden, and the proof for each — then turns and argues the other side, so the rebuttal you'd have been surprised by is on the table early.
Build the matter element by element; map the claim, the burden, and the weak point in each — and anticipate the rebuttal you haven't heard.
Matter → elements → weak points.

The element your proof is thinnest on.
-
Opposing counsel's strongest argument — before they make it.
-
The precedent that cuts against you, surfaced rather than buried.
