About this listen

In this must-have book for both new advocates and experienced trial attorneys, veteran trial lawyer John P. Blumberg shows the listener how persuasion science can lead to successful jury verdicts. Blumberg's new methodology for approaching courtroom advocacy solves the mystery of what makes certain strategies successful, and why information is accepted or rejected by jurors.

Persuasion Science for Trial Lawyers is presented in an easily understandable way, using examples of how to deploy winning tactics throughout every aspect of a trial. Blumberg expertly explains how decisions by juries can be affected by cognitive overload, mental shortcuts, and biases that cause some arguments to be dismissed. Trial lawyers who understand the science of persuasion will be able to avoid these pitfalls and gain a significant advantage over opponents.

Even for non-lawyers

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm a marketing copywriter, so persuasion is a big chunk of what I do. I found this book very insightful, and I plan on reading the text version using a more structured approach.

Excellent

This is an excellent book for civil litigator's and most of the theories and techniques can also be applied to the practice of criminal law. I will listen to it multiple times.

I was skeptical, but

I was skeptical, but this turned out to be one of the best books I’ve read on persuasion. I’ve read a good number of the books quoted in this one, and although this might be more of a collection of ideas than an academic work, it gets the job done, and very well.

Good advice for lawyers, not limited to trials

I would add the subtitle, "how to handle people-relations and common situations effectively." This is a voice of experience (dating to pre-digital times), which any thoughtful person can generalize to all sorts of situations. This would have been ideal to know, when I started my solo law (and trial) practice!

Excellent

The first half a chapter one was a dud. I was close to returning the book. The book turned around considerably after the 1st chapter. For anyone new to a court room outside of kangaroo courts, this is a must read.

Enlightening and Valuable information

All of the deep insights into the complexities of the human mind and emotion is valuable to everyone that finds persuasion a part of their profession, as well as those possibly seeking insight into themselves.

depth of the material

a person hears about the selection of juries being critical in winning or losing a case, so much so that places like New York City, it is said you can indict a ham sandwich
