I agree that entertaiment TV, along with the Internet, smart phones, fast food, and other relatively new technology has changed our ability to sit still for anything that is not immediately exciting. We expect instant gratification and are easily bored.<br /><br />I love the new technology, and realize we cannot change the fact most of us lack the patience to listen to long, detailed and technical arguments.<br /><br />The solution is for lawyers to change how they present evidence and arguments. How should they do than? Well, for one, they should use MORE TECHNOLOGY They should use photos and videos and so on much more than they typically do. <br /><br />You get the idea.<br /><br />IraIra Glicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10800080810596424897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429570072441023296.post-66357582784492214392011-08-30T17:38:06.855-04:002011-08-30T17:38:06.855-04:00In addition to the "CSI" burden of proof...In addition to the "CSI" burden of proof issue you point out, you could add the "Law and Order" entertainment value issue. If you go to the courthouse and watch the vast majority of the cases there, you will see mumbling, non-charismatic attorneys, making unfathomably technical arguments in front of bored judges who lack the good looks of those on TV. The expectations of juries are a far cry from the realities of modern court cases.JoBeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04388675982643889154noreply@blogger.com
