Closing Arguments - The Art of Persuasion - by Jack B. Swerling, Esq.

The closing argument is the highlight of a trial. Court watchers come and go during the direct and cross-examination of witnesses. The quickest way to clear a courtroom is for the judge to announce that he will deliver the charge. But during a closing argument, people watch and listen. The lawyer who recognizes that at that moment people will give their undivided attention and have a unique opportunity to advance their case like no other moment in the trial.
