Annual Review of Civil Litigation
ANNUAL REVIEW OF CIVIL LITIGATION 2019 THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE TODD L. ARCHIBALD SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE (ONTARIO) 30839744 Discovery as a Forum for Persuasive Advocacy: Art and Science of Persuasion Ð Chapter IX 1 TODD ARCHIBALD,ROGER B. CAMPBELL AND MITCHELL FOURNIE The flash and dash of the courtroom is exhilarating for the lawyer but dangerous for the client. Accordingly, the truly successful lawyer will take his cases there only seldom. When he does go, he will go highly prepared; and that high level of preparation will be made possible by the apparently dull, but fascinatingly powerful tool, of discovery. And when a lawyer has been successful in keeping his client out of a trial, it will most often have been the same tool, discovery, which will have helped him do it.1 I. DISCOVERY AS A FORUM FOR PERSUASIVE ADVOCACY The image of the persuasive litigator is often associated with trials. It is an image that evokes the courtroom scenario and the pressures that accompany it. Here, witnesses are tenaciously cross-examined, answers are carefully assessed, credibility is gauged, and lawyers make their opening and closing addresses in full view of the judge, jury, and public. It is an image that draws on the solemnity and magnitude of trial, where the potential for settlement has long passed and a verdict or judgment is the only potential outcome. It is from this situation, at the end of the litigation process, that our notions of persuasive advocacy are often derived. In this ninth installment of the Art and Science of Persuasion, we look at how persuasive advocacy can and must extend beyond the courtroom. -
