How to make every verdict a
punitive/Nuclear verdict in Voir
Every jury’s verdict is punitive—“how much does this defendant
deserve to have to pay?” is part of every jury’s calculation, so
how you frame the damages in voir dire has a huge influence on
the size of their verdict. In this program, Harry will teach you
how he had his clients frame damages in voir dire in each of the
six 9-figure verdicts he selected in the past year. The words
you use and the way you explain damages to your jurors during
jury selection matters immensely, so make sure you’re doing it
the right way. In this lecture, you will learn:
-
The way that you can explain damages to your jury while still
asking questions in voir dire
-
Why it’s so important to explain damages in the best possible
light… and which words and phrases will paint a negative
picture of damages
-
How to identify jurors with negative views of damages during
voir dire, while still painting damages in a positive way
-
How to frame compensatory damages in a way that triggers the
instinct of jurors to punish
-
How to handle damage voir dire against corporations versus
individual defendants
