ADVICE

Begin With The End In Mind

  • Prepare your message starting from the jury instructions (the end goal) and work backward to guide every piece of evidence.
  • Focused preparation prevents wasting time on sensational facts that don't answer the jury's questions.
ANECDOTE

Social Media Changed Jury Strategy

  • Jefferson learned social media fame affected jury selection when many potential jurors recognized him.
  • The defense settled quickly because his public presence threatened impartiality in that venue.
ADVICE

Expose Lies By Slowing The Moment

  • When you catch a lie, slow it down and re-ask the question like you don't believe it to make the witness uncomfortable.
  • Use documents or evidence and then stop, thank them for the truth, and let the jury see the contradiction.
