Dr. Karen Lisko has observed the deliberations of hundreds of mock juries in over 25 years of helping attorneys develop case strategies. She has also conducted scores of post-trial interviews with actual jurors. Her research findings have been compiled in Proven Jury Arguments & Evidence. This helpful book provides general recommendations for persuading all types of juries, and offers detailed advice for the following 9 types of cases:
