The system stresses the significance of communication through nonverbal signals, including dress, body language (kinesics), space usage (proxemics), attention span, and verbal image. Cultural norms and class/power presentation are discussed for each of these areas. Using nonverbal signals of the parties involved as the point of departure, the author then discusses approaches to the case outline, whether to try a case before a judge or jury, and client and witness orientations. The relevance of color psychology to jury selection and desirable and undesirable characteristics of jurors are examined. Discussion is also devoted to strategies for opening statements; closing statements; and presentation of exhibits, including weapons, charts, and courtroom arrangement. Charts, illustrations, and about 50 references are supplied.
