Good trial lawyers know how to manage an effective--sometimes, even artful--litigation process. Great trial lawyers know what it takes to win by "making their client's version the truth." In Powerful Deliberations: Putting It All Together for the Jury, Chris Ritter distills the many lessons he has learned from working on hundreds of complex, high-profile civil and criminal cases. Bringing together legal strategy, psychology, and persuasion theory, Ritter offers a fresh approach to trial preparation, one that focuses on how jurors learn, think, and deliberate. Ritter demonstrates how lawyers can turn jurors from neutral finders of fact into advocates for their client's side.
Whether a lawyer tries a few cases or many, and whether these cases are large or small, this book provides a trial-tested framework for building a stronger, more persuasive case. In this follow-up to his ABA best-seller, Creating Winning Trial Strategies and Graphics, Chris Ritter draws on his 25 years of experience as a trial lawyer and law school professor, and as a consultant who is always in trial, to describe best practices for winning. Ritter and his colleagues at The Focal Point LLC have worked on some of the largest, most highly publicized cases in the country.
