How To Try A Personal Injury Case, James Dooley

Cleveland State Law Review

Proper presentation of a case in court is dependent upon proper preparation. Proper presentation means an intimate knowledge of the facts, the parties, possible witnesses, and, o fcourse, the governing legal principles.

Clear expression of an idea is impossible without a clear understanding of it.
