Trial Advocacy

Ben Rubinowitz, a partner at Gair, Gair, Conason, Steigman, Mackauf, Bloom & Rubinowitz and an adjunct professor at Hofstra University School of Law and Cardozo Law School, and Evan Torgan, a member of Torgan & Cooper, write: Some trial lawyers will argue that admitting a weakness is a bad decision, that the jurors will view the confession as a self-serving event. Since the trial lawyer will never admit that he should lose the case, the jurors will be skeptical and cynical of the attempt to enhance credibility by admitting a weakness. We disagree. By volunteering a weakness, you will be in a position to have the jurors conclude that you, as an advocate, have gone out of your way to present the whole picture to them and not just the favorable parts of your case. Few things have the potential to hurt more than concealing a weakness that should have been disclosed.

Making Room for Rooftop Wireless Antennas in New York

David E. Bronston, a member of Cozen O'Connor, and Paul J. Proulx, an associate at the firm, write: While seemingly everyone utilizes a wireless telephone in one way or another, the infrastructure necessary to support such services, like most types of infrastructure, is often subject to a "Not in My Backyard" reaction.

Scott I. Davidson, of counsel at Kaye Scholer, writes that while the preparation and filing of proofs of claim is ordinarily a straight-forward process, there are certain pitfalls that must be avoided to ensure that a client's claim is adequately and appropriately preserved in a bankruptcy case. By doing so, the only issues that should remain are the substantive bases for the allowance of the claim, which will rise and fall based on the unique facts of the debtor-creditor relationship.

Medical Literature as Evidence: A Missed Opportunity

Andrew S. Kaufman, a partner at Kaufman Borgeest & Ryan, writes: New York is in a distinct minority of jurisdictions in which published medical literature is usable on cross-examination only if the opposing expert concedes it is authoritative. Given the desire of each party to introduce supporting literature and the opposing party's reluctance to have it admitted, a curious scenario has been created in which the vast majority of experts in New York prefer to deny that anything is authoritative.
