Persuasion is a deliberate effort to change a person's attitude. The ability to persuade is dependant on several things, including the speaker's credibility and likeability, understanding the audience, and how the message is framed. The ability to persuade comes naturally to some people and is completely foreign to others. But regardless of where you fall on that spectrum, understanding the principles of persuasion will increase your ability to persuade-and your ability to sway a jury in your client's favor.
