How lawyers can turn empathy into multi-million-dollar verdicts
This year's presentation, "The Big Ask: Lessons for Closings," explores how lawyers can authentically and strategically empower juries to assign meaningful non-economic damages by starting early in voir dire, reinforcing the client's story throughout trial, and delivering a closing that blends empathy, personalization, and a clear call to action.
