A Trial Lawyer Explains How To Help Your Courtroom Nerves
Some people are
scared of spiders, some are scared of snakes, but most people are scared of
public speaking and going to court. When you are going to court for a personal
injury case, you are there to fight for compensation. The compensation you are
fighting for could change your life dramatically, so naturally you are going to
be nervous about the outcome. It is your trial lawyer's job to help calm your
nerves.
If it is your
first time entering a courtroom then you are going to be nervous. Television
series have dramatized the courtroom, making it seem like a bigger deal than it
is. The best thing you can do if you are beginning to feel nervous or think
that you might be uncomfortable in court, is to tell your trial lawyer. They
should ask you how you feel and help you prepare, but if not, you need to ask.
Always remember that the lawyer is working for you.
As a trial
lawyer, I do some things with my clients before cases. Some lawyers do not do
these things, but I want to let you know about a couple of them because they
can help you feel more comfortable in the courtroom. If you are feeling
nervous, ask your lawyer if you can do these things.
The first thing I
do with my clients is to show them video of the court process. This allows the
client to see the process in the courtroom. Knowing what is going to happen
helps calm the nerves. The unexpected is one the biggest fears when going to
court. These videos help you to get the dramatized courtroom out of your head
and to have a basic understanding of what is to come.
The second thing
that I do is take my clients into the courtroom. Seeing the process on video is
great, but opening the door and physically being in the room is the key. I
usually do this on bigger cases or if a client is really nervous, but if you
think it will help you, ask your lawyer. Make sure to have your trial lawyer
show you your seat, where the judge will enter and where other key people will
sit.
If you are
worried about going to court, know that your trail lawyer will be by your side.
If you are feeling nervous, make sure to let your lawyer know and ask him if
you can do some of the above-mentioned things.
