Ep. 264 - Can a Resonant Conversation in Voir Dire Be TOO Resonant?


Listen Later

Resonant conversations with jurors — those moments where you connect deeply on an emotional level — can be a game changer.

BUT.

Is there such a thing as too much connection?

Here's what we're diving into:

🗣️ WHY creating resonance with jurors isn't just about getting them to listen — it's about making them care and act.

🗣️ The BIG mistake many trial attorneys make when trying to create resonance, and how it might be costing you your strongest jurors.

🗣️ The RIGHT balance between logic and emotion that gives you an edge in trial — and where most attorneys go wrong.

🗣️ WHY the traditional "Can you be fair?" question might be the LEAST effective way to approach voir dire.

This episode is packed with actionable takeaways for your next trial.

Don't miss this, tune in now!

Quote:

"Your job in voir dire isn't to get them to like you—it's to help them feel safe enough to tell the truth. When jurors feel seen and safe, they're more willing to lean your way, even before you present a single piece of evidence."
