Good grief, I presume you believe that arguing (sorry, "orating") in
court is just like an episode of Matlock. I won't get into all the
other things you will need in your "courtroom oratory", but try
telling your client/senior counsel you are trying to come up with
a "credible trial story" and they might well ask what else they are
paying you for. Most of the time, the person you really need to
convince is the judge, NOT a jury, and if anyone can devise a means
of influencing one of those, then please, please, PLEASE tell me how.
No particular reason, of course ;)
And as for the the "would-be lawyers" who know all about NLP, give us
a shout when they actually get into a courtroom and try out their
stuff. I need a laugh.
