Mark Lanier at Harvard

Mark Lanier recently gave an excellent "war stories" lecture to a Harvard Law Torts Class. Although the subject was how to be a great litigation lawyer generally, there's plenty of great examples and discussion on the use of PowerPoint at trial. Watch and learn.

PS--The professor also provides a great example of how not to introduce a guest speaker: First, read a long introduction so your audience knows you really don't know anything about this guy. Second, read it fast so everybody knows the actual practice of law is far beneath you.

The person giving the introduction is a student, not the professor. That particular Harvard Law Professor actually has experience working with plaintiffs' lawyers.
