In addition to the fears about Opening Statements and Closing Arguments that lawyers know about – public speaking; captive audience; trials are rare – there are pitfalls lawyers don’t see . . . and therefore fall into. Worse yet, lawyers often try to accomplish the wrong things with their Opening, thus squandering a great opportunity to make some real headway in framing their case for the layperson jurors. And likewise, too many trial lawyers don't understand the structure of successful Closings. This presentation will help lawyers think a little less like lawyers and a lot more like jurors, and help them better set filters and frames which would make it easier for jurors to find their way to your verdict rather than your opponent’s.
