The Trial Starts in the Parking Lot

In this episode, we’re talking about the moment before the moment, the walk from your car to the courthouse doors, and why it matters more than most lawyers realize. Jurors are watching, even when you think they’re not. They're paying attention to how you carry yourself, how you treat others, what you say, and what kind of energy you bring into the building. We’ll break down how kindness, confidence, empathy, and presence shape a juror’s gut instinct about you before a single word is spoken in court. If you’ve ever wondered when the verdict really starts forming, this episode is your wake-up call.Mitch Jackson, Esq. | links | text version | Apple | Spotify |Want to get better in the courtroom, faster?
