About Powerful Deliberations: Putting It All Together for the Jury
Good trial lawyers know how to manage an effective -- sometimes, even artful -- litigation process. Great trial lawyers know what it takes to win by "making their client's version the truth."
In Powerful Deliberations: Putting It All Together for the Jury, Chris Ritter distills the many lessons he has learned from working on hundreds of complex, high-profile civil and criminal cases to help you win at trial -- what every client most values.
Bringing together legal strategy, psychology, and persuasion theory, Ritter offers a fresh approach to trial preparation, one that focuses on how jurors learn, think, and deliberate. Ritter demonstrates how lawyers can turn jurors from neutral finders of fact into advocates for their client's side. Whether a lawyer tries a few cases or many, and whether these cases are large or small, this book provides a trial-tested framework for building a stronger, more persuasive case.
In this follow-up to his ABA best-seller, Creating Winning Trial Strategies and Graphics, Chris Ritter draws on his 25 years of experience as a trial lawyer and law school professor, and as a consultant who is always in trial, to describe best practices for winning. Ritter and his colleagues at The Focal Point LLC have worked on some of the largest, most highly publicized cases in the country
What Others Are Saying
"Once again, Chris Ritter has written a book that every trial lawyer--indeed, every litigator--should read. If you want to build stronger, more persuasive cases by turning jurors from neutral finders of fact into effective advocates for you and your client, you owe it to yourself to read what Ritter has to say, or you can ignore this book and leave your case's outcome to chance." John W. Keker, Esq. Keker & Van Nest LLP
"Like other longtime trial lawyers, I've come to know what works - and what doesn't - with juries, but I never really knew why. Chris Ritter's book not only clearly explains the "why," it provides deep insight, and teaches important lessons, about the lawyer/juror relationship. Ritter's gift as a teacher is making complex ideas easy to understand and to remember. After reading Powerful Deliberations, I'll look at every jury with greater understanding of what's working and why." Cristina C. Arguedas, Esq. Arguedas, Cassman & Headley, LLP
