As the saying goes, "Facts speak louder than words", but facts benefit from words. In judicial practice, even with facts and laws, lawyers' arguments are not always successful, which requires lawyers to give full play to their eloquence and strategy. When the court entered the debate stage, the parties were either tit-for-tat, or evasive, or caught off guard, or outflanked, in order to retreat. At this time, if a lawyer doesn't pay attention to "tactics" and doesn't know the debating skills, it will be difficult for him to calmly express his debating words based on facts and laws, let alone skillfully deal with the new situation in the debate, so as to realize the requirements of the strategic plan. In fact, although there is a good debate plan, there are many cases in which the "irrefutable facts" that have been mastered have failed to play a role because they can't grasp the opportunity and are not good at taking corresponding countermeasures.
Thus, the position of debating art in lawyers' professional activities is very important. It is not only the concentrated expression of lawyers' professional ability and wisdom, but also the standard measure to evaluate lawyers' handling quality and ability. Therefore, it is necessary to study and discuss the skills of lawyers in court trial debate, so as to meet the needs of the reform of court trial mode and give full play to the important role of lawyers in court trial debate.
