I was in the From Hostage to Hero FB group a few weeks ago talking about my revolutionary voir dire process: ISSUE ORIENTED VOIR DIRE.
Want to find out what it is and how to use it in your next case? Give this podcast episode a listen to find out! -Sari
Motive.
A big deal in criminal cases. An even BIGGER deal in civil cases. Yeah, I KNOW that jurors aren’t required to find motive to vote your way, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want it. They do. Jurors find it hard to punish “mistakes” and “accidents.” So how can we solve this as plaintiff attorneys? Give this podcast episode a listen to find out.
The legal landscape is changing.
Due to Covid-19, many of you are being forced to conduct jury selection over Zoom. The question is, can a group be formed over Zoom? Yes and....no. Give a listen to this podcast to learn more. -Sari

What are resonant conversations? And why are they important?
Your goal in voir dire is to create resonance with jurors. When you do this, your verdicts will go up. Give this podcast a listen to learn more. 
My "issue-oriented" voir dire method is being used by attorneys all over the United States.
But sometimes lawyers get "stuck" conducting an issue-oriented voir dire. Issue-oriented voir dire is WAY more than just focusing your voir dire on the issues in your case. Give this podcast a listen to learn more. 
You get bad feedback from a juror in a focus group, mock jury or after trial.
That means you should NEVER do that thing AGAIN. Right? Wrong. You have to learn how to translate juror feedback by looking at the larger picture. That, and sometimes we do things, on purpose, that the jury won't like. Give this podcast a listen to learn more. 
When it comes to jurors, we do a lot of taking.
But what do we give them? And why does that matter? Give this podcast a listen to learn more. 
So many of my clients have old communication rules they bring into my office.
Things like, "Never turn your back to the audience." Or, "Always make eye contact." The problem is, communication rules don't serve you. Great communication is all about timing. What are your communication rules? Give this podcast a listen to learn why you should think about leveling up.
So you found your ideal juror. Now what?
Won’t identifying them mean they get kicked off? Shouldn’t I “hide” them from opposing counsel? This really is a question about group dynamics. Give this episode a listen to learn why “hiding” them not only is a poor strategy, but why I also think you don’t need to be afraid of showing the other side your ideal jurors.
