You may also want to consider Melvin Belli...a very flamboyant (he appeared as an actor in an episode of Star Trek) and expert trial attorney from San Francisco. He died several years ago, but while I was in law school I had the privilege of observing his work on a personal injury case he was trying ... absolutely flawless. He has written books on the presentation of evidence that have become encyclopediae for the legal profession. His approach was to show the jury what happened rather than just tell the jury. He pioneered the use of  scale models of accident scenes reconstructed for trial..

I remember one of my law professors telling the torts class a very funny story. It involved a personal injury case in which the Plaintiff had suffered the amputation of his leg. On the day of trial Belli appeared with an object wrapped up in butcher paper that resembled a foot. The object simply rested upon the counsel table for several days of trial. The defense attorney finally noticed that the eyes of several of the jurors were glued to the object on the Plaintiff's counsel table, and finally objected. Upon objection the court made inquiry as to what was wrapped in the butcher paper.  Belli unwrapped it to disclosed a hero sandwich...his lunch. However, the point was well made to the jury.

You are not doing your job unless you are pushing the envelope.
