In this episode of Coopers' Code – Lifecycle of a Case, Miles Cooper walks through the Trial phase (8A): the point where organization, collaboration, and foresight can make or break a case. From exhibit lists and jury questionnaires to motions in limine and mini-openings, Miles outlines the systems that help trials run smoothly. He explains why joint trial submissions can improve courtroom rapport, how to manage witness and exhibit logistics, and how a thoughtful verdict form becomes a powerful closing tool.
The discussion continues through the trial process itself - jury selection, opening statements, the case in chief, rebuttal, and closing - offering both practical tips and strategic insight for litigators who want to approach trial with confidence and control.
