Encore Episode: Voir Dire Done "Too Well"? Secrets Every Trial Attorney Must Know

from Sari Swears · host Sari de la Motte

So, you think you nailed your voir dire… Jurors are bonding with you, they're engaged, and it feels like a REAL conversation instead of a STALE Q&A.  Then, OUT OF NOWHERE, one juror starts "helpfully" suggesting random facts they believe you need. If you've ever seen a NEAR-PERFECT VOIR DIRE get blindsided by off-topic tangents, this episode is for YOU.   We're diving into H2H strategies like: 🎯 Stop, Start, String – The ULTIMATE TRIFECTA to smoothly steer jurors back on track. 🎯 Devil's Advocate Tone – How to raise the defense's argument without confusing your jury. 🎯 Embracing Objections – Because a lively group discussion often riles up the defense, and that's a GOOD SIGN. Jurors mean well, but if you're not CAREFUL, their "help" can blow up your ENTIRE opening strategy.  WANT TO KEEP YOUR MASTERPIECE VOIR DIRE FROM BACKFIRING? Tune in NOW and learn how to nudge jurors back on track WITHOUT KILLING the connection you've built. Xo, Sari   Mentions: FHTH Episode #30 – How to Use the Devil's Advocate Question Quote:  "There are three things I always teach when I talk about how to facilitate, especially when the conversation starts going the wrong way: Stop, Start, or String. 'Stop' means you tell the juror, 'I'm going to stop you right there,' and clarify it's irrelevant or not part of the case. 'Start' means you shift the focus with a new question or direction. 'String' means you connect a piece of what they said to what actually matters. With these three techniques, you keep the discussion productive and aligned with your case." — Sari de la Motte   * * * * FREE H2H TRAINING * * * *  THREE POWERFUL STRATEGIES TO HELP READ A JUROR'S MIND Understand what the jury is thinking, so you can gain the confidence to trust them - and yourself - in the courtroom.
