Mastering Witness Preparation Method and Focus Groups | Elizabeth Larrick (Trial Consultant)

"Having done so many focus groups, you get a good, fine-tuned ear for what is clear testimony and what is not. The goal of this method is for people to be as comfortable as they can, but then have confident, clear testimony that is very credible."Trial Consultant Elizabeth Larrick joins us today to discuss the importance and methodology of both witness preparation and focus groups. Elizabeth shares her journey from being a plaintiff's trial lawyer to running her own consulting firm. We cover the witness prep method she learned under the guidance of the Keenan Trial Institute, the psychological aspects of prepping witnesses, the use of visual aids, and common mistakes lawyers should avoid. We then delve into how focus groups can enhance a lawyer's approach to cases by providing diverse perspectives and fostering better case framing. Elizabeth shares practical advice for both seasoned and aspiring trial lawyers on how to improve their litigation skills and client interactions. It was a privilege having Elizabeth join us.Courtroom Stories & Tactics | RVA Trial Lawyers Available on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and at RVATrialLawyers.com Based out of Richmond, Virginia, Courtroom Stories & Tactics by RVA Trial Lawyers exists for lawyers who try cases to juries on behalf of people.
