Description

"What part of this story just doesn't hit you right?" How would a potential juror answer that question? We're talking about gut feeling, instinctive reaction: something that's there, and they're trying to put their finger on it. These are very good avenues to explore in focus groups, and can uncover emotional and cognitive responses that you weren't expecting. Today's episode features three questions that are deceptively simple yet powerful in their nuance and framing. Successfully applying them will not only make your case stronger, but help you be much better prepared for what the other side is thinking as well. In this episode: Strategic questions can reveal case weaknesses effectively. There are hidden weaknesses in your case that you may not see. Asking jurors to explain the case in their own words can uncover confusion. Emotional responses are crucial in jury decision-making.
