Shifting Paradigms Webinar Bundle

In Session One of this three-part series on the shifting paradigms in the speed trial and damages, Joe Fried conducts a deep dive into the speed trial and how the new paradigm shapes your case preparation and trial strategy. He will discuss the present paradigm for conducting trials, why it takes so long to try a case and whether or not there is a correlation between the length of a trial and the verdict amount.

He will show how fear and limiting beliefs play into trial strategy and presentation and explore whether other paradigms should be considered. What if you could work from a new paradigm that identified what the case needs to be about and what you need to prove to win, how to get to the point quickly with less fluff, fewer witnesses and fewer points?

You will learn how the new paradigm works in practice, including how to limit the number of issues and the number of witnesses needed to prove your case and how to make it easy for jurors to get the point.

He will share examples of cases and an outline for medical doctor depositions.

Our present paradigm

• Is there a correlation between the length of a trial and the verdict amount?
• Is there a good reason to explore other paradigms?
• Identify what the case needs to be about and what we need to prove to win
• Present fewer witnesses
• Could this work?
• How the new paradigm works in practice:
  • Discussion about identifying the few critical points for a case
  • Discussion about editing content for each witness
  • How to make it easy for jurors to get the point
  • Ask for attendee issues

In Session Two of this three-part series on the shifting paradigms in the speed trial and damages, Joe Fried shows how to work with different types of witnesses. He will cover liability witnesses, such as the police officer, eye-witness, and expert; medical summary witness; doctor; life care planner; economist; before and after witness; and your client.

He will discuss how the new paradigm impacts your approach to the hard parts of your case, editing depositions for use at trial, cross examination, jury selection, opening statement, and closing argument.

Session Three of the series on the shifting paradigms in the speed trial and damages looks at a new way of considering damages and talking about money. Joe Fried will help you identify your current damages paradigm, where it originated, what limiting beliefs control you and whether those limiting beliefs are true. You will learn to identify the damages story in your case; use jury charges to aid in the damages presentation; understand why talking about money is so difficult and how to talk about money in jury selection, opening, with witnesses and in closing.
