"Two Goals That Win Jurors From The Start" With Jude Basile
In the first sponsored episode, veteran trial lawyer Jude Basile shares his approach to voir dire that has helped deliver results including a $150 million wrongful death verdict.
During the conversation, Jude offers practical guidance for navigating common and difficult situations, such as:
- How to respond when a juror asks if you’re “just in it for the money”
- How to handle sensitive disclosures, such as a juror sharing a personal loss
- Why the language you use matters, including one key word he recommends eliminating from your vocabulary at voir dire and what to say instead to build trust
This episode delivers actionable communication strategies that can help attorneys create stronger connections with jurors from the very beginning.

"The Jurors Seem to Like You? Get Over It" With Keith Bruno
The second sponsored episode tackles a common voir dire trap: mistaking friendliness for suitability.
With more than 200 jury trials under his belt, the featured trial lawyer, Keith Bruno, explains why attorneys must stay focused on identifying risk, even when a juror seems personable or engaging.
The episode reinforces a critical lesson: effective jury selection requires focus, courage, and a willingness to address difficult situations head-on.
