  • Elite Trial Lawyers - Incredible Podcast

    As a longtime fan of Rahul’s work (both as a trial lawyer and teacher for other attorneys), I was hyped to hear about this podcast. I’ve listened to every episode and it has not disappointed. Rahul and Ben make an amazing team and it’s always my first listen when they have a new episode.

Your Software Won't Win the Trial, with Sara Cordrey

Your Software Won't Win the Trial, with Sara Cordrey
Q: Tell us a little about yourself and how you got into this industry.
Sara describes growing up in Miami, moving to New York, and transitioning from engineering at McKinsey into AI-focused healthcare data work, ultimately applying those insights to the legal space to help trial lawyers tell stronger patient stories.
Two Minutes to Win the Jury with Robert Hirschhorn
Q: Can AI jurors replace human jurors or a trial consultant?
No, AI jurors are starting points and data guides; the human instinct, courtroom experience, and real-time focus groups remain essential for nuanced interpretation and final decision-making in trial strategy.
Two Minutes to Win the Jury with Robert Hirschhorn
Q: How does VerdictHub actually work and what makes it different from traditional juror studies?
VerdictHub uses AI-driven, venue-specific surveys that simulate juror responses across 500 digital jurors in a given locale, producing a 20+ page report with strengths, weaknesses, and a juror profile to guide case strategy; it's meant as an empirical starting point and is not a replacement for live focus groups or professional judgment.
