One important aim of trial advocacy training is to teach new judge advocates how to convey their theory of the case by using the art of storytelling. Students are taught that by using a story, attorneys better connect to and keep the attention of their audience. The art of storytelling is a skill that young trial counsel aspire to develop, and that seasoned prosecutors employ with ease. A judge advocate's storytelling practice normally comes to an end at the conclusion of advocacy duties. But for one judge advocate, the art of storytelling became his legacy to the Judge Advocate General's Corps. An author of various books, Colonel (retired) Fred L. Borch has been using his storytelling techniques for the benefit of the Army Lawyer since March 2010, with the inception of the Lore of the Corps series. Now the lead article of every edition of the Army Lawyer, the Lore of the Corps invites readers to relive important moments in the history of our Corps through Mr. Borch's artful technique of storytelling. Little did Mr. Borch know that in helping to account for our regimental history, he has become of a part of the history himself.
