Clinton, Edwards and Kucinich do LA environmental forum.

This happened Saturday afternoon. WAC? even sent its secret resident stringer to this limited-seating event at the Wadsworth Theater in West Los Angeles. But never mind--the NYT was there anyway, along with the feisty Huffington Post. The forum was held by the League of Conservation Voters Education Fund and other environmental groups. All Dem and GOP candidates were invited--but only Clinton, Edwards

and Kucinich accepted the invitation. Climate change and energy security were the main topics. No tough panel questions, and no real differences in positions. WAC? and many others think charming, articulate and nothing-to-lose-now faux populist John Edwards was the forum's real star. Hillary seemed tired, more stiff than usual, and overly-careful. Dennis was, well, genuinely liberal and spectacularly un-Presidential. But we have liked the Ohio Boy Wonder since 1978.

Can you overdo courtroom technology?

You sure can. And some good trial lawyers we know are making that mistake right now. Remember the idea is to tell your story, simplify the arcane, and drive main points home to a jury which is doing its best to understand your client's case. Tech should help you and your client with jurors--not frustrate them. Don't hold your client back. Evan Schaeffer explains in "Are You Using Too Much Courtroom Tech?".
