Professor Jo Potuto completed an article to be published in the LSU Law Review titled “Swinging at the Facts: How Baseball Informs Legal Argument.” The article compares a lawyer making a legal argument to a batter at the plate. A batter with a well-made bat is poised to hit, but he or she still must connect with the ball. A lawyer with an accurate and complete rendition of applicable black letter law is poised to craft a persuasive argument, but he or she still must connect with the facts.
