The success or failure of a case often binges on an organizing principle known as a case theme. For example, the case theme in the trial of Erik and Lyle Menendez, two brothers accused of murdering their parents, was "the abuse excuse". The brothers should be excused because they had been severely abused. A primary case theme of the O.J. Simpson defense was "the police messed up and planted evidence".
Themes are simple, brief (one sentence!) statements that capture the essence of your argument. You control the lens through which the facts will be viewed. For a trial lawyer, this is absolutely critical. If the lawyer fails to establish a case theme, he or she gives opposing counsel the advantage. Or even worse, the listeners, or those you are trying to persuade, will adopt the theme suggested to them by your adversary. Whoever controls the definition of the case is inevitably the one with the power.
Just as a theme gives the listeners a generalizing principle around which information can be organized, so too does it give you one. The great trial lawyers emphasize the need for an overall strategy as well as day-to-day tactics. A case theme embodies a lawyer’s overall strategy in a nutshell and helps him organize the ease so that he always stays on target. Use a theme to help you stay well and easily focused on the overall thrust of your presentation.
A good ease theme also greatly enhances your credibility. When you establish a succinct, easy-to-remember theme, you let people know that you have a well-defined and thought-out point of view. Such specificity adds to your perceived competence and trustworthiness. Remember: successful trial lawyers are never wishy-washy.
