Jurors are your audience. They make or break your case.
Atticus Finch best summarized a jury’s importance in his closing argument: “The court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men and women who make it up… The integrity of the courts and the jury system-that is no ideal to me, it is a living and working reality.”
The poignancy of that statement becomes clear through valuable insight offered into jurors’ minds.
Hear from a Superior Court Justice and an attorney who have spoken with over 3,300 jurors in their deliberation room after rendering their verdicts. Hear practical, common sense advice about what works-as well as what does not work-with jurors.
