Getting facts is important in building fictitious criminal cases. However, criminal lawyers need to brainstorm on ideas that will help organize facts into a consistent and integrated combination of facts and ideas necessary to persuade others. The idea may be a possible theory of the case. They may be interpretations, inconsistencies, or possible arguments. They may be other ideas to tie that case to the available languages, the opposite case, the impeachment proposal, or the most convincing explanation of the jury (or a story story).
Unfortunately, focusing on legal analysis often hinders lawyers' creative thinking. Brainstorming is a form of creative thinking. There are two very important requirements for this. First, the goal of creative thinking is to develop as many theories, interpretations, views and explanations as possible about what happened. In other words, criminal lawyers are developing the utmost idea. Second, the evaluation of these ideas must be postponed until later. In other words, once the lawyer begins to evaluate the quality of his idea, the evaluation itself will interfere with the free thinking necessary to maximize the number of ideas.
For creative thinking and brainstorming you have to approach with resolve to find any useful ideas. Lawyers should also be optimistic about the process. We must believe that the process creates useful ideas. As a result, the depth of brainstorming is more likely to become true as a result of discovering many ideas that were not initially apparent to Brian's lawyers. As ideas are gathered, the new idea creates ideas for other new ideas and lawyers' thinking goes deeper and closer to the truth. The important idea here is to think creative and actively about the incident.
Next, in this series building a fictitious case, we are organizing facts and ideas into stories that appeal to the jury's belief system.
