Shownotes

Everyone loves doctors. Pat Salvi’s firm sues them. When you know how to pick a good jury, he says, you can overcome the inherent likability factor. In this conversation with hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer, Pat reveals his strategies, starting with how he makes a connection with potential jurors. Tune in for his tips on exposing juror bias and focusing jurors on a doctor’s behavior, not personality. “It’s not about whether he's a good doctor or a nice guy,” he tells them. “It's whether or not he was reasonably careful under these circumstances.”
