The Appellate Record : Texas Appellate Lawyer & Attorney Kendall Gray for Fifth Circuit & Supreme Court Appeals

In a prior post, I suggested that if the practice of law were a high school, then appellate lawyers are the chess club.  This post draws another, equally compelling parallel:

If the practice of law is the world of sport, then trial lawyers ought to be soccer players. Instead, many of them act like NFL football players, and they are doing themselves no favors. 

After the jump, see why trial lawyers who want to succeed on appeal need to be more like soccer players by "preserving harm"* in addition to preserving error.
