Learn an overall approach to shaping your panel and priming them to be open to your and your client's case.
Jury selection is among the most important and determinative parts of trial practice . . . yet most lawyers fear and loathe it. Mainly, that's because even litigators seldom end up trying a case, so they don't have much experience with it. Worse than that, law school either didn't teach the right way to talk to and de-select 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 Don'ts of Jury Selection. Rich will tour an overall approach to shaping your panel and priming them to be open to your and your client's case.
