How are today’s jurors changing, and what does that mean for trial lawyers?
Host Jill Webb talks with veteran trial consultants Jason Barnes and Chris Dominic about what they are seeing in their work with jurors and how trial lawyers can adapt their communication and courtroom presentations to better connect with a changing audience.
Barnes and Dominic discuss shorter attention spans, the expectations created by digital media, and why effective courtroom communication increasingly requires more than a strong logical argument. They explain the importance of storytelling, credibility, authenticity and human values, and why the way an attorney delivers a message can be just as important—or more important—as the content itself.
The conversation also explores the importance of giving younger lawyers opportunities to develop their courtroom and public-speaking skills, as well as how the composition of a trial team can affect its ability to connect with a younger and more diverse jury.
Their advice for trial lawyers: don’t assume that what worked 10 years ago will work the same way today. Understand your audience, practice your delivery, and keep adapting.
