Description

*Plaintiff-only product

In an America more divided than ever, jurors bring powerful beliefs about corporations, institutions, and elites into the courtroom—with verdicts often reflecting those broader cultural rifts. In this must-attend webinar, our expert panel will show you how polarization is reshaping jury decisionmaking and how to bend bias to your advantage.

Join Gregory Cusimano and David A. Wenner, two coauthors of Winning Case Preparation: Understanding Jury Bias, as they discuss how modern attorneys should adjust their trial tactics. They will review data in light of recent electoral changes, the dramatic shifts in juror attitudes revealed by Covid research, and the reasons for what some call “nuclear verdicts.”

You’ll learn to:

  • Use grievance messaging and juror biases to frame messaging
  • Bridge ideological divides with messaging that resonates across the political divide
  • Build consensus, even when agreement seems impossible, through core values and shared identities
  • Harness the “grievance mindset” before your next trial

Polls show a growing mistrust of institutions, experts, and authority figures, and a preference for personal freedom over collective safety. Don’t miss your chance to learn how to combat these biases, build your experts’ credibility, and adjust your case strategy to meet our changing times.

Perception of Experts.
