Picking Justice

Samantha Teal – What I’ve Learned from Consulting on More Than 100 Trials


Listen Later

What a difference a month makes. Trial consultant Samantha Teal had not worked on a $14 million sexual assault verdict, $1 million employment verdict, $10 million employment pregnancy discrimination verdict, and $307 million verdict in a prisoner neglect case when this episode was recorded. A month later, hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer play their conversation. With experience consulting on nearly 100 trials, Samantha unpacks lessons learned – including why the instinct to prejudge jurors by demographics or professions could backfire, how she frames her signature voir dire question on "taking responsibility,” and when it might be okay to tell jurors that you’re nervous.
