Are you ready to conquer voir dire once and for all?
That's exactly what you'll be able to do after attending our Voir Dire Studio. Over four intense days I'll give you specialized instruction on how to improve your voir dire skills in a small group format, allowing lots of time for individual feedback. On day one and two, I'll workshop your case and you'll learn skills for success in front of the jury. On day three, you'll practice what you learned in front of two mock juries while I coach you. On day four, you'll watch video of your performance and I'll give you focused feedback on how you can improve. Day three and four are videotaped and you will receive a copy.
Sound daunting? It is. This program is not for everyone. In fact, I don’t accept everyone who wants to come. You have to apply to be accepted into the program.

"Sari taught me the importance of 'non-verbal' communication with the jury; the importance of standing a certain way when you are delivering information; and standing another way when you are receiving information. Sari showed me how to draw information out of jurors and how to move from place to place to make sure that the juror I am questioning talks loud enough for everyone to hear while I am standing in a place where I can observe the reactions of other jurors. And it’s really easy to do once you practice it and understand what you are doing and why. So all of these things I learned to make me more comfortable in my own skin which then makes the jury more comfortable with me."

“Friday I obtained a verdict with interest from 20 mph rear ender of $650k plus costs. Your seminars eased trial performance anxiety, made our up spirit contagious, nobody got into shallow breathing, pausing became almost expected to let the jury catch up on the learning curve for complex medical stuff, and through bite size nuggets of information become comfortable with the medicine.
From voir dire through closing, Power of Presence and Voir Dire Studio techniques were woven into every phase.
May I again thank you?”

"Sari’s voir dire workshop provided me with a great opportunity to develop and hone new nonverbal communication skills. The workshop provided me with a sense of form and structure that opened new horizons for me. If you are trying cases, this is a great way to improve voir dire skills. The workshop is not for everyone. It is not easy. That said, I recommend it to those trial lawyers who are dedicated to improving their courtroom craft."
-David Sugerman
(David won a $580 million dollar verdict in the case he brought through this program.)
Watch a Preview of Sari's Voir Dire Class
“The most powerful impact of Sari’s training was seeing it unfold in practice. It is one thing to hear about concepts and another to see it work. I was stunned when I presented the same case, facts, even WORDS to two separate yet similar juror groups, and by fully using non-verbal communication with the second one, the results were profound. The second juror group was really connected to each other and me; we created the “Tribe” dynamic that had been so elusive. Most importantly, the ratings feedback from the jurors confirmed just how powerful these techniques are. I will be hiring Sari for other cases as well – I cannot see not doing so for my major cases.”

"The seminar isn't cheap, but I have no hesitation recommending it at this level to anyone who wants to work on these absolutely critical skills. It's one of those rare seminars where on the second day, you can practically feel yourself getting better at your job in real time. It's hard to put a price tag on that feeling, the confidence boost that comes from it, and the likelihood your new skills will boost future verdicts, but I believe that price tag could be far higher than this and still be a great value.”
