If You Are Still Expecting Reptiles, It's Time To Reframe
The plaintiffs' bar isn't talking about reptiles now. Instead, at hundreds of seminars and in dozens of articles and books, the focus is on using tactics such as "framing" to win outlandish verdicts. The defense bar isn't paying attention and our clients are losing in court. We need to catch up.
Takeaways:
- To win trials, defendants must reframe facts so juries see the defense perspective and spot flaws in the plaintiff's framing.
- Defendants must start reframing facts when drafting the answer, continue when writing and answering discovery, preparing witnesses, taking depositions, and pretrial motions, and complete the process during jury selection, opening statements, testimony, instructions and, of course, closing argument.
- One 60-minute session on this topic isn't enough.
