While it’s okay to look for positive feedback, don’t try to win the focus group. That’s a mistake. Instead you want that first presentation to be really tough so that you find all the problems, all the ways that the jury hates your case, hates you, hates your client, whatever it is. And then you can iterate, fix, repair, and patch. In this episode …

“Trial is a battle of impression more than it is logic.” As a plaintiff’s attorney your job is to do a deep dive and understand the minutiae of the medicine–along with the specifics of the case, the claims, and the causation–so you can tell the story of the plaintiff in a language that the jury can understand.
