Sari de la Motte is a communications consultant who works with trial lawyers across the country, including several members of the Inner Circle of Advocates. Because of her unique ability to help attorneys communicate authentically, some have even called her “The Attorney Whisperer.”
In this two-hour lecture from Rick Friedman’s Take Back the Courtroom IV CLE, Sari shows you four strategies for how to move jurors from being “captive hostages” to willing participants. She also discusses the power of presence in the courtroom, different communication styles, how to overcome fears of the jury, develop your own charisma, and more.
