Trying cases is exhilarating. For as long as the trial lasts, the mind is singularly focused, awake and asleep (mostly awake), on one thing: Winning the case. Trial counsel must carry the action—and never endure a dull moment in the courtroom. Win, lose or draw, the second the trial ends, there is a group of zealots who crave only one thing—the start of the next trial. These deranged people are not litigators. They are trial lawyers.
