Support the showBrian Beckcom is a trial lawyer with years of experience under his belt. Specializing in Maritime law, he made headlines for representing the interests of Richard Phillips in Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse - the trial made famous by Tom Hanks' portrayal of 'Captain Phillips'. As a result, companies began to employ independent security contractors to protect their vessels and crews and saw their safety & profit margins improve. In our exclusive interview, trial lawyer Brian Beckcom will share his insights into Maritime law and discuss the implications of applying data science to trial preparation.
When it comes to trials, the stories you tell can make or break your case. Whether it's the story of a BP/Deepwater Horizon explosion, a George Floyd Civil Rights Case, or even two back-to-back Bakersfield record verdicts, we've seen the power of storytelling in courtrooms time and time again.
It's not just about what you say—it's about how you say it. When you're crafting your argument during trial, you need to think about more than just facts: You need to consider how those facts will affect jurors' opinions and judgments of your client. In order to do this effectively, you need to be able to craft compelling narratives that connect with people on an emotional level—and that's where our team comes in to measure that impact before your actual delivery!
