Description

Learn an overall approach to shaping your panel and priming them to be open to your and your clients case.
Jury selection is among the most important and determinative parts of trial practice . . . yet most lawyers fear and loathe it. Mainly, thats because even litigators seldom end up trying a case, so they dont have much experience with it. Worse than that, law school either didnt teach the right way to talk to and deselect jurors or taught it wrong. And even worse than that, there is so much legacy nonsense floating around from older lawyers who keep passing down bad practices for generational ineffectiveness. Join trial consultant Rich Matthews for an overview of the actually correct tactics and strategies to use in jury selection or as he calls it, The Ten Dos and 10,000 Donts of Jury Selection. Rich will tour an overall approach to shaping your panel and priming them to be open to your and your clients case.
