• Getting jurors to self-identify their bias
• Using analogies to maximize challenges for cause
• Becoming comfortable discussing damages
• Discussing noneconomic damages in voir dire
• Discussing the burden of proof
• Putting surveillance in context before the jury sees it
• Addressing invisible injuries with jurors
• Handling cases with little to no property damage
• Selecting powerful words and introducing recognizable phrases in opening statement
• Foreshadowing cross-examination in voir dire and opening
• Admitting your client's pre-existing conditions
• Dismantling the defense’s attack on letters of protection
• Asking winning questions in your direct examinations

In just under five hours, Mitnik provides a plethora of cutting-edge insights and tactics you can begin immediately adopting in your next case.
