Big Firm Picking a Jury-the op Ten List, 'was the Night Before Trial The Psy chody namics of Trials Closing arguments are the final opportu- nity you have to influence the jury. it is simple: there a story to be finished and this is our chance to do that (consider mel oil your side). I assume we have started the trial with a theme. Our evidence has been allowed to he heard, more or less in accordanlce with e desiIn you had developed. The opposing side's ev idence went in more successfully than was expected or hoped, but their motions have iot closed the case out y et:. Now is the last and best time to deliver on the theme. It is time to get the july on our client's side. You have just a tews mo- Ients to pull the case to- gether. Don't take too many moments (a 90-minute final argument for a day- and-half trial is too much) to remind the jurors of the purpose of this trial. Justice needs to be done, and they are sworn to do justice (and let's hope justice is helpful to our client.) They need a fews hooks to hang their discussion on when they get into the jury room. The laws is a good hook. What law ailows our client to prevail? Tell them, show them, and let them know that the law is on our side. A statute can be read and shows 0 with PowerPoint. Case las can he discussed, if we et the judge to instruct on it. Emotion is another good. hook. If possible, we need to get the jury to wstlit to help our client. The client has suffered an injustice, and the jurors should want the good guy to win in this battle (uoutinued inside) GEEASPATC , SADS LLFR IVSO AMRIA BAR ASOITO
