Trial lawyers like to talk. We tend to be extroverted and work hard on figuring out how to talk in trial. We read books on conducting jury selection, cross-examining witnesses and making arguments.

Over time, however, our talking can begin to interfere with an equally important skill: listening. Three areas where listening pays especially large dividends include listening to the client, to the witness, and to the jurors, judge or arbitrators.
