TOPICS
• Inside the Mind of the Jury
• Two Different Views of the Courtroom
• The American Jury System
• Eye-catching Statistics
• The Case for Storytelling
• The Tools
One Step At A Time …
• A common remark I hear from those who have
taken this course is that due to the vast
amount of content, it can feel like “drinking
water out of a fire hydrant.”
One Step At A Time …
• My advice is not to attempt to master all of
these techniques, but instead to focus on just
a few at a time.
One Step At A Time …
• The same applies here. If you try to tackle
everything with all of the zeal, fervor, and
gusto of a missionary beginning a religious
Pilgrimage, you are going to get overwhelmed
and want to throw in the towel.
One Step At A Time …
• The performing arts is not a spectator sport.
It’s experiential. Preparation and “learning by
doing” are critical elements of honing this
craft.
“Life is about the journey; not the
destination.”
The Wisdom of Dogs
Bella
The Wisdom of Dogs
“Wisdom usually does not fall from high places.
I have learned more from my dog than from all
the great books I have read. The wisdom of my
dog is the product of his inability to conceal his
wants. He puts his head on my lap, wags his tail
and looks up at me with kind eyes, waiting to be
petted. No professor ever told me I might live a
more successful life if I simply asked for love
when I needed it.” – Gerry Spence
