Although the codes do not always provide for this, in the courtroom, not only does the letter of the law apply, but also procedural culture and court etiquette.

W najnowszym, 16. odcinku naszego procesowego podcastu dr Łukasz Wydra – Partner w Kancelarii Jabłoński Koźmiński i Wspólnicy i Lider praktyki arbitrażu In the latest, 16th episode of our litigation podcast, Dr. Łukasz Wydra – Partner at Jabłoński Koźmiński & Partners Law Firm and Leader of the Arbitration Practice, shares his observations and experiences from courtrooms – what to avoid so as not to:

1. put off the adjudicating panel,
2. weaken the procedural position,
3. violate the authority of the court.

Featured in the episode:

• ” Rule No. 1″: do not irritate the judge – neither with words nor with the click of a pen,
• Some remarks about sallies and emotional identification with the client,
• Why less (in speech and writing) really means more,
• What is stoicism for in a trial, and what does the jury (or rather the lack thereof) have to do with it?
• And… why some behaviors work when they shouldn’t (or vice versa).

We encourage you to listen!
