From Hostage To Hero

Encore Episode - Why You Need to Use the Coffee Rule in Voir Dire


Listen Later

I'll be blunt—spewing words like "subsequent,” "prior," "motor vehicles,” or phrases like "Who here has experience with…,” “By a show of hands..." makes my head fucking hurt. You sound like a FREAK, and it's got to stop! WHO are you talking to? If you are wanting to connect with jurors, you've got to cut the bullshit lawyer-speak and remember how to talk like a normal person—like you're having coffee with a friend. 

Here at H2H, I teach the coffee rule: be a human, not an attorney robot. You want the jury nodding, not scratching their heads.

This encore episode is a rapid kick in the ass. Short, sweet, and straight up.

Quote:

"Nobody drives 'vehicles.' If you're sitting at a coffee date looking at someone across from them and you're like, 'So, did you have to take your vehicle to get maintenance last week?' Slap yourself across the face because that is ridiculous. Nobody talks like that. Nobody. Jurors don't."
