Guy Pratte of BLG LLP shared his thoughts on the Future of Advocacy and, in particular, emphasized the continued importance of oral advocacy.  He encouraged lawyers to continue to rely on written advocacy, but being persuasive, and looking people in the eye, would still be essential skills of advocates in the future.
