Toolbox Talk Series: The New Science of Trial Advocacy

Modern jurors are experts in everything and suspicious of everyone. Lawyers must change with the times and adopt a new trial playbook that ignores conventional wisdom and embraces the changes in jury psychology. In his new book, The New Science of Trial Advocacy, John Jerry Glass introduces us to an alternative approach to trial advocacy that he calls, “The Waiter Pivot.” The smart lawyer's attitude is, "Hello, I'll be one of your waiters for the trial. May I start you off with a helpful graphic?” Join us for a discussion with Mr. Glas and how the lessons in his book will teach attorneys how to surprise, disarm, and persuade modern jurors.
