HOW TO WIN A CASE

HOW TO WIN A CASE

1. To win a case we have to follow three important steps which are:

   • EARLY STAGE:
     • Within this first stage, the Initial Hearing is held, which can begin from the control of the detention to continue with the Formulation of Imputation and culminates with the Linking to the process.
   • CRIMINAL PRE-TRIAL PROCEEDINGS:
     • The Control Judge analyzes the information, subjects the Accused to trial and grants a common period to the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Defense to carry out the complementary investigation. In this time, will be collected the evidence that are needed to perfect the theory of the case.
   • PUBLIC HEARING
     • The Oral Trial, which begins with the debate hearing, where the evidence is released and concludes with the sentence.
   • At this stage, witnesses take a very important role because they are being interrogated in order for, they confirm that the fact existed and the evidence is true.

2. In order a successful case, the lawyer should be:

   • Meet Your Deadlines:
     • You have to be updated with all the information you have to present in the court.
     • Make Sure Your Evidence Is Admissible:
       • You can figure out what types of evidence will help you prove each key fact.
       • Be the Master of Your Case:
         • Lawyers often have confident, forceful personalities. Be sure that you are the one calling the shots in your legal case, and be sure that you are in control of your case.
         • Don’t be overconfident:
           • Never be under or overconfident or assume that you will definitely win. Be prepared with the case in the situation that you might not win. Have your own story prepared beforehand.
           • Be respectful and don’t interrupt:
             • Address the judge as "your honor," not as "Judge Smith" or "Mr. Smith." Try your best to be polite to your opponent, not demeaning or petty. But no matter how frustrated you get, you shouldn't interrupt—especially not the judge. You'll get a chance to tell your side of the story. Remember, calm people are more believable, so it benefits you to keep your cool.
