“I’m impressed by Obama’s ability to get people to focus on shared values in order to reach a consensus. This is the same thing you do in trial work: If you can get people to buy into common values, you can win. When you try a case, you figure out what value system you need to play to — how you can get support across ethnicity, race and gender.
“Obama does this in a political sense — every time he fights through the smoke and gets his message out, he gets support through shared values. In law, you also achieve consensus by focusing on common values.”
