Description

The New Science of Trial Advocacy John Jerry Glas ISBN 9781639053551

Times have changed, and lawyers must evolve with them. Today’s jurors are well-informed, skeptical, and increasingly impatient with lawyers’ usual tactics. They scrutinize everything—including hand-picked experts—and they are less interested in being spoon-fed arguments or told what to think.

It’s no longer about us. Tell a juror something is “obvious,” and they’ll assume it isn’t. Suggest a specific award, and they’ll instinctively resist it. They are weary of lawyerly objections and endless bickering. What they want is help navigating the evidence—not sales pitches or theatrics.

Forget traditional voir dire, one-sided openings, naive cross-examinations, and hard-sell closings. Stop emulating the aggressive litigator persona or treating experts like props. What’s needed is a new trial playbook—one that respects the modern juror, understands how they think, and abandons outdated courtroom conventions.

Jurors know they are the most important people in the courtroom, and they expect service accordingly. We must rise to the challenge. Becoming effective guides in the courtroom is no small task, but the choice is clear: adapt—or fall behind. The Golden Age of Lawyers has passed.

The Age of Jurors has begun.
