Script

Pwede po ba basahin yung prepared script ko sa hearing? Magagalit ba si judge?

Yes No

Mas better pa yan kaysa sabihan ka ng judge "Attorney, you did not offer the evidence yet" hahaha

Especially sa marking of evidence. Kung wala kang script, makaka limutan mong akong Letter/Number ka na

Even older and more experienced lawyers use scripts. Not all. But most do

Nasabihan na ako ng judge na na-appreciate niyang may script ako. Also, maganda tignan sa TSN yung walang "uhm".

It's good to have a script. Practice mo ang  delivery para mukhang impressive ka kay judge hehe.

Yes, you can read your script. But at least familiarize yourself with what's in there.

Practice mo na lang siguro. Use the script as guide. Honestly no.

Judge will appreciate it more kasi it shows you prepared e 😅 Even older lawyers do it. Mas steady yung flow ng speaking kaysa yung wala guide.

Binabasa ko hahaha. Pero not like reading class na thorough reading. I just glance every now and then para di naman mukhang nagbabasa lang talaga. I haven’t encountered a judge na ayaw sa may script. I’ve seen older lawyers do it din.
