Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Own Your Trial Tech, Own Your Narrative | Attorney Jakob Norman | S5 Ep. 7
Q: Are you also, in essence, running your own tech throughout the case?
Yes, I personally run it or have an associate run it, using simple, reliable tools like PowerPoint/Keynote and TrialPad, and I stress the importance of being able to troubleshoot and sanitize slides when needed.
Empower, Prepare, Collaborate: Expert Strategy Unpacked | Attorney Karen Zahka | S5 Ep. 6
Q: How do you balance bringing in experts who are highly credible with the need to keep the jury engaged?
We tailor explanations, use analogies and visuals, and avoid overpowering the jury with jargon, always aiming to maintain collaboration and credibility.
Empower, Prepare, Collaborate: Expert Strategy Unpacked | Attorney Karen Zahka | S5 Ep. 6
Q: For deposition, what system do you use to prepare the expert well in advance?
We ensure the expert has all relevant materials, understand the expected defense questions, and rehearse with a hype-man approach to bolster confidence and clarity.
From $5,000 Offer to $10 Million Verdict: Proving Human Loss at Trial | Attorney Brandon Yosha | S6 Ep. 6
Q: Can you share how your own life-altering injury shaped your approach to practice?
The injury gave me deep empathy for clients with life-changing injuries, and I learned to put myself in their shoes, prioritizing the human story and the emotional impact alongside the medical details.
Using Big Data to Drive Big Verdicts | Attorney Al Foeckler | S6 Ep. 2
Q: Al, when in your opening you shared the $40 million number, what was the rationale and result?
The number was delivered toward the end of the opening to establish credibility and then reinforced by the body-cam evidence; it contributed to a credible arc that helped the jury accept a large damages figure, culminating in a favorable verdict.
