CLE Credit: Up to 9 hours of self-study CLE credit, where authorized. Please confirm with your state's CLE commission to ensure this program is available for self-study CLE certification.
Program Summary: Understanding how the human brain works is the key to persuasion and understanding juries in the courtroom. As defense lawyers, we obsess over proofs and facts, but recent research tells us that we ought to focus on emotion, calculated vocabulary and creating a compelling narrative arc in order to win our cases.
This program will take you inside the mind of the common juror and detail the different psychological principles that are at work during a criminal trial, and how to use these principles to influence a jury in order to win our cases. You'll come to understand how juries and individual jurors think and process information, how to ask effective questions during voir dire to reveal juror biases, how to create mistrials and hung juries, how to explain the concept of reasonable doubt in a persuasive manner, and how to understand the dynamics of group behavior and group cohesion. This program will also cover the principles of persuasion that are most likely to influence jury decision making and explain what juries find attractive and how to cultivate that through written and oral advocacy.
