It emphasizes more advanced techniques than the similarly-themed introductory article The Art of the Referral (Bruce Sackman, Kelly Sisario and Jerry Lawson). Lawson approaches the topic from his perspective as a former federal prosecutor and counsel to federal criminal investigators, but most of the ideas apply just as well to stat

Sam Walton turned a five-and-dime into the Walmart empire using little more than business savvy and a legal pad. His reliance on yellow legal pads is well-documented. His desk at the Walmart Museum has a stack of the ubiquitous pads still covered in Walton’s exhaustive notes.

Attacks on your courtroom arguments? Those you can survive. Attacks on your witnesses’ credibility, ditto. Not so a cyberattack.
