At the heart of this amazing program is the unerring thread of “here’s how to do it.” You will learn how to make effective jury arguments, novel ways of creating opening statements, tips to keep you focused on the ultimate goal of leading the jury to a common understanding, common questions, and common suspicions about the case. You will learn what jurors need from an opening statement, to identify key types of jurors, how to prepare them for jury deliberations, and how to communicate with and account for generational and/or their cultural differences. Other topics will include cross examination techniques, the importance of preparation and dealing with the media in high profile trials.
