TOP 10 MENTAL HEALTH TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL LITIGATING

On Business Law for residents in Canada  

1.  Be prepared to develop elaborate strategies and a master plan and then spontaneously abandon the whole thing in favor of a completely different approach.

2.   Approach the witness box with a solemn mantra, which are the two or three truths fundamental to your case and which are the ultimate answer to any line of questioning.

3.   Develop an open and trusting relationship with your lawyer or else abandon all hope.

4.   Ensure that there is always something in your life more important than your lawsuit.

5.   Always consider the best and the worst possible outcomes as being both unlikely, but be guided by them both.

6.   If the lawyers are talking about appeals before you even go to trial, then try to settle fast.

7.   In the witness box, learn how to say “I don’t know” when you don’t know, and never let your questioner make you feel ashamed about any lack of knowledge or failure of recollection.

8.   If your lawyer cares about your case, acknowledge it with thanks.

9.   Treat your lawsuit like a curable disease, knowing that diligence and patience bring it to a favorable end.

10. Keep alert for the many ironies that populate legal confrontations, for they will make you wise.
