                             Generations in the Jury Box:

                 Tailor Your Message, Make the Connection

                             by  Cam Marston of Generational Insights

There has been a lot of buzz lately about generational challenges in the workforce as companies struggle to
make  sense of the different needs and perspectives of four distinct generations working side by side. Businesses
worldwide  have entire budgets dedicated to understanding how to connect with employees and customers based
on generational nuances. Jurors are no different.

Understanding  how shared life experiences and perspectives can color one's view of the truth - or overall
trustworthiness - is critical to connecting with jurors. Choosing words and arguments carefully with a view for
how  specific generations of jurors will receive them can make or break a case.

So, how  do you communicate  with a group of jurors who may be Matures, Boomers, Gen Xers, Millenials, or
more  likely, all of the above? Meet them where they are, so you can bring them where you want. Ignoring the
truths of generational norms will get you nowhere.

You  need to know how each gained its collective persona in order to craft a message that earns credibility and
brings them closer to your side of the case. So, let's discuss the differences in each generation.
