Watch Party 05/22/20

I hosted a webinar 'watch party" so we could discuss the Zoom Jury Selection for a trial in Texas. We were fortunate to have Matthew Pearson join us as the lawyer on the trial. I so appreciated his insight and willingness to do live coaching as I debriefed what wasn't working, why, and what we CAN do if forced to pick juries in this way. 
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

Edward Capozzi 05/20/20

Proximate cause can be difficult to prove to jurors, especially in “invisible” injury cases. Ed Capozzi has come up with a fix and he calls it The Domino Theory.
In this 60 minute webinar you’ll learn:
- What The Domino Theory is
- Why it works
- How attorneys get it wrong (and how to get it right)
Ed will also talk about the #1 thing he thinks is holding attorneys back and tell us a bit more about his new book coming out in July.

Jesse Wilson 05/06/20

Everyone loves a good underdog story because we all want to root for the person who's willing to fight even if his chances of winning are slim. This is why films like Rocky and other underdog stories are so popular.

As plaintiff attorneys, you and your clients are the underdog. And yet, when it comes to telling your story to the jury, it’s so easy to get it wrong. ​
Here are some of the resources Sari & Jesse shared during the webinar:

The Corona virus has affected Americans in a myriad of different ways. But how will it affect jurors? No one has any idea yet, and David says it is really dangerous to guess at this point. David will discuss the difficulties of the situation and point some ways to fix it, including some ways that must not even be considered.
BONUS: David and Sari will share their ideas on what the BEST lawyers do that make them "the best"

Courtrooms are empty, the jurors have been told to stay home, and most lawyers around the country are working from home. How, as trial attorneys, do we navigate this?

Rick Friedman has some ideas. Join Sari and Rick as they discuss how to try cases when cases aren’t being tried. We’ve been given an opportunity here, let’s not waste it.
