LEGAL TALK NETWORK
About this episode

Identifying the “I can’t get over it” issues in your case is the first step to successful case framing. But making your frame clear to the jury is key. When do you introduce your case frame? How often do you repeat it? And what is the defense going to do about it? In this second episode on case framing, legendary trial lawyer Mark Mandell drills down on how to select your most important issues, anticipate the attack and apply decision science in your courtroom strategy. The techniques you’ll learn in these two episodes may transform the way you analyze your cases and elevate your practice.
