Thank you Mike Zuckerman for
sending me the Honorable Amy J. St. Eve’s and Gretchen Scavo’s Cornell Law
Review article entitled “What Juries Really Think: Practical Guidance for Trial
Lawyers.” I’ve already passed the article on to my students at Seattle
University Law School, and in the future I will use its findings when discussing
my beliefs about what is appropriate and inappropriate conduct for trial lawyers.
The following is the article:
“What do juries really think about
lawyers? What makes jurors tick? What do lawyers do that irritates jurors? What
can lawyers do better in the courtroom from the jury’s perspective? These are
the questions at the heart of this article, which provides useful insight
gleaned from more than 500 jurors who served in federal district court
trials in Chicago, Illinois from 2011 to 2017. In this article, we present our
analysis of questionnaire responses from those jurors, as well as their
verbatim commentary, and distill both into practical guidance for trial
attorneys looking to improve their trial skills.”
