Cases are won and lost not in the courtroom, as it might seem at first glance. The court is just a stage where two parties appear before each other and the spectator-judge. All major work that determines the outcome of the case takes place prior to the hearing.
Instructions
Step 1
To win a lawsuit, you need to prepare well for it. Identify all the facts that may be relevant to your case, while considering not only significant but also insignificant details. Determine which of the revealed facts you can confirm with the relevant documents. Consider what is worth using as irrefutable evidence and what is only as additional evidence or circumstantial evidence.
Step 2
Study the regulations governing those relationships that will be considered in court. Find articles and laws that you can refer to in order to support your reasons and arguments. If necessary, consult with experts on the issues that are being considered in court (medical professionals, linguists, forensic experts, or experts in another field).
Step 3
Review the case file periodically. New documents may appear in the case not only at the hearing, but also be presented by the other party between hearings. Or, documents requested by the court may come. It is extremely unprofitable to learn about new details of the case in the court session itself. When submitting any documents, do not violate the procedure established by law, so that the other party cannot refer to the violations committed. At the same time, make sure that the opposing side also observes the rules.
Step 4
Study the practice of the case, find out what the precedents were. If possible, figure out how the line of defense was built and accusations in similar cases. Based on this, try to develop your own strategy. Try to put yourself in the shoes of the opposing side. Imagine what questions the judge or second-party representative might ask you and prepare the answers to them in advance.
Step 5
If you are unsure of your speaking skills, record your speech or individual lines and rehearse them. Even compelling arguments presented in a tongue-tied manner can be misunderstood or misinterpreted by the court.
