Anything that makes us more credible with jurors cannot be ignored. Gestures, eye contact, voice control, and smiling all make a difference, but you must have someone who can demonstrate these skills and coach you thru the transition to establishing real connections with jurors.

Human Connection In Trial

At TLU Skills Training bootcamps, I focus on the science and technique of human connection within the context of a small group, namely, the jury. Over the past nine years, it has been my mission to break down and teach the complex skill of connecting with jurors. From 2014 to 2020, I led over 100 four-day programs, sharing insights I developed through what I call the "Trojan Horse Method." When the pandemic forced us to go virtual, I had a rare opportunity to observe the best trial lawyers remotely and decode the superhuman results they achieved. This led to a reinvention of the Trojan Horse Method, evolving into the program I offer today.

Mastering Micro-Skills of Connection

Just as with mastering golf or tennis, honing human connection skills requires breaking down each component into micro-skills. Essential micro-skills for jury connection include eye contact, voice control, emotional control, hand and body movement, glance control, word selection, listening, and creating space. During voir dire, opening statements, and cross-examinations, I guide participants to practice, record, and refine these skills. To ensure readiness, I conduct six weekly Zoom meet-ups, emphasizing that preparation is the key to success. This three-day program is structured to deliver exponential improvements in courtroom presence and connection, with a full money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied.

Real-Case Application and Personalized Assessment

Every participant brings a real case they’re currently working on. This hands-on approach includes preparing and delivering a three-minute opening statement, which is recorded and analyzed. The playback offers each participant a precise assessment of their performance and connection skills, allowing them to identify areas for improvement in a supportive environment.

A Commitment to Transformation

My goal with TLU Skills Training bootcamp is to elevate your practice and help you gain mastery of connecting with jurors. Through structured feedback and practical application, I focus on refining the subtle yet powerful elements that make a difference in the courtroom. You’ll leave with a heightened ability to engage and influence, transforming how you present your cases and connect with jurors.
