AZA Presents: What Today's Lawyers Are Doing Wrong and How to Stop Them 

When it comes to trial, today's litigators often think like litigators. This is a problem. Juries do not think like litigators. In this CLE, Todd Mensing, Rey Flores and Jason McManis of AZA will present how in-house counsel can identify when their litigators are not preparing their case for the realities of a jury trial, and how to chart a course correction before it is too late. This includes how to pursue effective theme and story-building in discovery and trial, the correct use of visuals at trial, and powerful strategies for motivating juries.

One hour of Texas MCLE General Credit is approved for this presentation.
