SMALL GROUP

You can work with Sari in a small group format by attending one of our Studio Classes.  There is something transformative that happens in the synergistic atmosphere of this in-person small group format.  Work up the content of your Voir Dire or your Opening Statement, get hands-on coaching on your nonverbal presentation skills, then practice in front of two mock juries.  
HELP ME WITH VOIR DIRE
HELP ME WITH MY OPENING STATEMENT
Our four-day intensive studios provide you with focused instruction on how to improve your voir dire and/or opening statement skills in a small group format.

​In the Voir Dire Studio you will learn:
  • How to tell the story of your case in voir dire
  • How to ask questions that get you the information you’re looking for
  • How to create safety in the courtroom and build rapport with the jury
  • Listening skills that will (paradoxically) help you ask better questions
  • How to shut down aggressive jurors and draw out quiet ones
  • … and more!

Learn more about the Voir Dire Studio here.
​
​In the Opening Statement Studio, you will learn:
  • Storytelling skills that will engage the jury
  • How to organize your statement around case-specific trial themes
  • Tools for making your opening statement clear, concise, and compelling
  • Presentation skills that will increase your credibility and hold the jury’s attention
  • Tips for gauging the jury’s receptivity and modifying your approach accordingly
  • … and more!

​Be purposeful in your communication and take your practice to the next level.
"Persuasion requires substance (what you say) AND presentation skills (how you say it.)  Sari's courses have given me both! I have so much more confidence in how to communicate and teach the jury. I finally understand how to be their leader! The practice in front of the two mock juries and the review by Sari of my "performance" is worth the price of the course alone. Thank you Sari for bringing together all of the trial skills I have learned over the years. I am truly grateful for all that you have done in such a short time to make me a better communicator and lawyer!"

- Debra Nelson, Trial Attorney (Cincinnati, OH)
