The session will cover recommended strategies for framing the most effective voir dire, constructing special verdict forms to influence the trial outcome and win on appeal and best practices for crafting jury instructions in State and Federal Courts.  The presentation will also address avoiding a verdict by seeking judgment as a matter of law or a motion to strike and enter judgment.  These critical trial elements are often left to the days leading up to trial when they should be analyzed early and often in the case.
