Ep. 264 - Can a Resonant Conversation in Voir Dire Be TOO Resonant?

From Hostage To Hero

Resonant conversations with jurors — those moments where you connect deeply on an emotional level — can be a game changer.

BUT.

Is there such a thing as too much connection?

Here’s what we’re diving into:

🗣️ WHY creating resonance with jurors isn’t just about getting them to listen — it’s about making them care and act.

🗣️ The BIG mistake many trial attorneys make when trying to create resonance, and how it might be costing you your strongest jurors.

🗣️ The RIGHT balance between logic and emotion that gives you an edge in trial — and where most attorneys go wrong.

🗣️ WHY the traditional “Can you be fair?” question might be the LEAST effective way to approach voir dire.

This episode is packed with actionable takeaways for your next trial.
