I try to go through
For instance if I had a law clerk in the office
And we are doing a project
I try to take a little time and talk about why we are doing it
as opposed to here we got this discovery out 
no, we still have to get the discovery out, but I tell him the purpose of it and why I want the information
And how hopefully I can use that information in trial
Cause, the one lasting thing I feel very fortunate that I had my first trial within two months, three months
of having graduated, or having been admitted to the bar
I remember after that first trial, I thought
Oh, that's why you do that this way
do something this way in discovery
or on a deposition, now I ask my questions completely different from how I asked them before
cause you see how you use them at trial or are unable to use them at trial 
as the case was in my first trial
um, there is a purpose to all of this more just putting the forest together
versus focusing on here's a tree, here's an interrogatory
what do I do with that
here is a deposition question, what do I do with that
How does it fit into the whole
Cause that's a hard thing about your first year at law school, you are just learning about trees
and you don't understand the forest 
well it's the same with trial practice. There is a forest out there and when you are able to step back 
and see where everything fits in 
and actually, it actually works
