What?
Questions can bring your attention to a point. With your case do the same. Start writing out “what is my case about? You could talk days about that, but writing it out, you see it with your eyes, which is what the jury needs. Match the words to pictures and symbols. It will change over time. If you start from the very beginning your ability to explain it will be real. Precise, insightful, and real.
Run it by people you do not know. Like phrasing on an internet search. How you structure your inquiry will determine what you get. For example. “Why is climate change dangerous” as compared to “what is the dispute about the reality of climate change”? or “Climate Change today” What you pull up will be determined by you phrasing and your algorithm you have established over time. For a jury, that might be comparable to them knowing you represent one party or the other and having an idea what those interests would expect. But with a jury, your preset believes, and ideas fueled by your ego will lead you to your thinking not theirs. You need to align your facts to their perception, interests, and cares. They may be against lawsuits but cherish their health be align with someone taking it. You phrase is a lawsuit; you missed a connection.
It is not about you. The hardest words to appreciate and live by, we are human. Perhaps to find out about your case, be neutral, be factual, be curious and do not argue. Few lawyers can live up to that, including myself. It is our nature.
How to be more neutral in your statement? Maybe you say “Vicki Johnson was seriously injured when another ran a red light striking her vehicle from the left side. Hospital bills were $44,385.00.
Is that what works? Or maybe…yes there are a lot of choices.
Take the time to write in out. One sentence. Can you? What is important. Candidly, I am just thinking this through. What do you think?
