[blindlaw] Mock Trial

[Parnell and Kim Diggs]

First of all, Kendrick, just be yourself.  Let me tell you a short story.

One time I took great measures in advance to familiarize myself with the 
courtroom, which featured a podium in front of the jury box.  I learned 
where this podium was and planned to start my opening statement from there. 
But when I got up to begin, I noticed that the podium had been moved. 
Opposing council maybe?  I didn't miss a beat.

In later appearances, I began using my cane to walk around because I am more 
comfortable with a cane.  Make sure you know where the jury is in relation 
to your table.  The judge and witnesses will speak so you can figure that 
one out.
