Mar 17, 2025In the final episode of our theater-courtroom crossover series, we’re exploring what being a theater actor taught me about trial advocacy. From stepping fully into your role to engaging your jury with imagination and adapting your language for connection, this episode is packed with actionable insights to enhance your courtroom presence.

🔹 Key Takeaways for Trial Attorneys:
🎤 Go Bigger: If you feel self-conscious in your storytelling, try pushing a little further. The courtroom requires presence, not self-preservation.
🛑 Avoid Over-Reliance on Tech & Demonstratives: Just like in a black box theater, jurors will create the scene in their minds—if you guide them.
🗣️ Speak Their Language: You’re fluent in legalese, but jurors need simple, relatable, human language to truly engage.
🤝 Connection is a Skill: It’s not about hoping you click with jurors; it’s about learning how to build that connection intentionally.
