Quote:

"See, the brain doesn't understand what you are trying to do. It's trying to keep you alive, but it hasn't evolved past the need to keep you alive. It still doesn't understand the difference between a saber tooth tiger trying to kill and eat you and a jury that may decide against you."

RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU WANT A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL JURY. 🙋🏻‍♀️

Okay, now put it the fuck down because, guess what? YOU DON'T.

In this episode, I talk about the ONLY logical strategy to handle bias, and trust me, no one in the industry talks about it (because I'm the best, duh). 🤫

FHTH Podcast Episode #137 - The Problem with Trying to Find a "Fair & Impartial" Jury

Quote:

"Here's the thing– the only logical way to deal with bias, and you heard it here first, because I don't think anyone in the industry is going to say or has said or will ever say what I'm about to say, so buckle up. The only way to deal with bias is to embrace it."

Are you unknowingly handing the defense the victory in court?

It's a common pitfall I've observed, but fear not—there's a way out! And you can thank me later. 😉

Explore the strategies of the H2H method to shift the focus onto YOUR case, and encourage the jury to fight FOR you.

FHTH Podcast Episode #30 - How to Use the Devil's Advocate Question

Quote:

"You are unwittingly making the defense points important. How? You're focusing on them. Now, am I saying that we never focus on defense points? No, that's the point of my voir dire. My whole point is, as you go into voir dire, start with your fears list, start with the defense points. But reverse the shit out of that motherfucker and think to yourself, 'Okay, if this is what the defense is going to say, what would my juror have to say or believe to rescue me? To fix this for me?'"

In this encore episode, I'll teach you how to piss the jury off. But not in the way you might expect. 😉

By the way, if your opening is over 30 minutes long, then you're abso-fucking-lutely pissing them off. In a really bad (and wrong) way.

That's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about pissing them off to a point where you motivate them to act.

"That's the point of the teaching section. So when you're putting together your teaching section, what I want you to ask yourself is, 'What should have happened here?', 'What was the right thing to do?', ' What was the thing they chose not to do?', 'What was the thing they bypassed?' That's where we start."

THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR'S MIND

Let's get one thing straight—jurors should be handing YOU the principles, not the other way around.

You've got to ask the right questions, though.

In this episode, I give you the 4 questions to ask jurors, and I'll show you how social science supports this new approach. Spoiler: it's not what you've been taught in law school.

I'm telling you, I know what I'm talking about.

It's about knowing your principles and making jurors serve them to you on a silver fucking platter.

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.

"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."

"Ok, Sari, I get how important voir dire is, but what do I cover if I only have limited time?"

This. This is what you cover whether you have all the time in the world (put it at the end!) or limited time.

What is "this?" Check out this episode, and get a pen and paper out!

Quote:

"Asking your jury, 'How can money help?' will get you to where you need to go in voir dire."

Podcast Tip:

There are three principles you must source from the jury during voir dire:

- People should take responsibility when they hurt someone.

- Money holds people responsible.

- Money can help.

Michael Cowen -

I think the biggest way it's changed is internal. I used to go in there scared that someone's going to want to screw me over or they're not going to believe me or I'm not going to be good enough. And now I just tell myself before every trial, these are good people. They're coming in here taking time out of their day for very little money. They want to do the right thing. I'm going to trust them to do the right thing.

Hard Work Won't Get You Where You Want To Go

Quote

Would you be willing to stand up for your clients in trial over and over again if you never even got a verdict? Would you still be willing to do this work? If you can answer yes to that question, that means you're a real trial lawyer. If you're willing to say yes to that regardless of the outcome, that's what makes you a fucking trial lawyer. An eight-figure verdict? That's just a cherry on the sundae.

"Putting a lot of energy into an activity."

☝️That's the actual meaning of hard work.

And I LOVE it.

According to that definition, I work very hard because I put a fuck ton of energy into what I do.

But y'all tend to be more familiar with a few other definitions of hard work, like… "difficult to bear" and "causing suffering."

Hard work is NOT the only determinant of success, especially if you're a woman or a person of color in the United States.

Tune in to this very sweary episode of the FHTH podcast to learn more about my thoughts on the subject.

Enjoy!

Quote

"When we're touting that hard work is all it takes to get ahead in life, in your career, or in trial, it's fucking bullshit. For at least half of the United States being women and then add in all the people of color on top of that, it just doesn't fucking work that way. And because you all keep believing that it does, it's not doing you or your sisters or people of color any favors."
