WINNING THROUGH PERSUASION
Crafting Persuasive Opening Statements & Closing Arguments

Kathy Kellerman, Ph.D.

Sarah E. Murray M.A., Ph.D. Candidate

Trial Behavior Consulting (TBC)

This daylong seminar mixes lectures and interactive presentations with workshops that split your firm's litigation team into small working groups. Throughout the day, each attorney has an opportunity to share his or her experiences and insights on effective openings and closings; craft and present an opening or closing; and sit as a jury member and give feedback to his or her colleagues. This approach to teaching integrates discussion of case analysis, development of trial themes, and trial strategy with teaching and practice of specific rhetorical strategies and storytelling techniques that attorneys can use to become more powerful and persuasive speakers.

This seminar is taught by two consultants from Trial Behavior Consulting, (TBC), Kathy Kellermann, Ph.D. and Sarah Murray, Ph.D. Candidate. TBC has nearly twenty years of experience in the trenches with trial teams around the country and has earned the reputation of being one of the most experienced and innovative consulting firms in this field.
