Essentially, the title says it all. How do some lawyers make such a difference in the outcome of a trial when defending clients accused of crimes? The evidence is the same regardless of the lawyer, so it doesn’t seem like they should have that much power over the verdict.

In my experience, if you have a bad case, even a great lawyer is unlikely to win it for you. But it’s relatively easy for a bad lawyer to lose a good case. So assuming the other side has a good lawyer, you want to have a good one too.
