Shownotes

"Has anyone here suffered profound grief?" Randi McGinn began asking jurors that question, particularly in wrongful death cases, after she suffered a personal loss. “It made me realize that people who've experienced that would be wonderful jurors,” she tells hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer. As she explains, savvy plaintiffs’ lawyers should identify jurors who have experienced grief and who can share their experience with other jurors. The first female president of the Inner Circle of Advocates, founding partner of McGinn Montoya Love Curry & Sievers, and author of “Changing Laws Saving Lives,” Randi reveals this and other jury selection strategies that have helped her secure nine-figure verdicts.
