Episode notes

How do you get a jury on side when it matters most? How can we train and listen to our intuition? Why are we bad at spotting liars?

Today Professor James Walsh joins a Life of Crime to explore how psychology undermines our decision making in the courtroom. From 'unconscious bias' to 'cognitive dissonance,' James and Shifra grapple with key theories and explore how the legal profession could mitigate for them.
