Keith finishes Season 3 discussing a few new voir dire questions. These questions are hot off the presses and cover important topics not addressed in his book.

One deals with the biased spouse at home who is likely to exert influence over an otherwise unbiased prospective juror. The other identifies those who are not engineers, but still have the engineering gene (demand impossible levels of proof). I have found both of these new developments to be very valuable tools in the pursuit of just results.

In this episode, I talk about what I call "The Naming Game.” It‘s about calling out unfair defense tactics in ways that stick.

For example, when they admit fault, but deny any meaningful harm, brand it "The Old 'So-What' Defense.” When the defense makes ugly suggestions that they don’t actually believe enough to say out loud (such as hinting that your client is a faker), tag it by saying, “The courtroom is not a place for hinting; it’s a place for saying what you mean and backing it up.” By naming unfair tactics in bold and memorable ways, you will make the defense pay for not shooting straight with the jury.
