Program Summary: Communication with judges and jurors is an integral part of lawyering, and the outcome of every trial relies solely upon our ability to adequately incorporate persuasive techniques to convey our message. Persuasion is the cornerstone of effective courtroom performance, so it is paramount that defense counsel be well-versed with modern strategies and insights in this area. Having persuasive techniques in your arsenal can dramatically sway opinion, and impact the direction of your clients case both pre-trial and in trial. Even before the trial takes place, our clients are pilloried by the media, feared, and despised by society. They are in need of a strong, persuasive advocate who can explain their plight to the world of prosecutors, judges, jurors, and the media and do it convincingly.
