a facelift for your lawyer toolkit
This article encourages lawyers to use their face, and not just their words, to carry their message to clients, juries and other audiences. The piece advises: when “talking about something serious and somber, your face should ‘sag’ a bit and the whole head should come down some. When mentioning something positive and upbeat, make sure your face reflects that tone of voice. Smile, get that light in your eyes and lift your head up high.” It also suggests that lawyers can master the art of giving good face by studying “skilled presenters and communicators” on television, in comedy clubs and on the big screen.
