"Every trial lawyer, indeed every litigator, should read these books."

–John Keker, Keker & Van Nest LLP

Good trial lawyers know how to manage an effective—sometimes, even artful—litigation process. Great trial lawyers know what it takes to win by “making their client’s version the truth.” In Powerful Deliberations: Putting It All Together for the Jury, Chris Ritter distills the many lessons he has learned from working on hundreds of complex, high-profile, civil and criminal cases to help you win at trial . . . what every client most values. Bringing together legal strategy, psychology, and persuasion theory, Ritter offers a fresh approach to trial preparation, one that focuses on how jurors learn, think, and deliberate. Ritter demonstrates how lawyers can turn jurors from neutral finders of fact into advocates for their client’s side. Whether a lawyer tries a few cases or many, and whether these cases are large or small, Powerful Deliberations provides a trial-tested framework for building a stronger, more
persuasive case.
