Damages Evolving

In Damages Evolving, authors David Ball, Artemis Malekpour, Courtney Rowley, and Nicholas Rowley (along with contributors Dorothy Clay Sims, Aaron Broussard, and Pate Skene) do more than just share their latest strategies and insights for successfully trying cases on behalf of injured clients. The authors demonstrate new ways to make your cases stronger, now, today, as well as tomorrow and the days to come. They go beyond templates and examples you can use to solve the problems in your cases and share their reasoning as to why their solutions work, so that you can take their solutions and tailor them to your needs. They offer strategies and frameworks robust enough to give you an edge against unforeseeable changes, and—more importantly—they show you how and when to adapt their lessons to best tackle future challenges. This new book on damages includes: New and tested methods from the authors, built on the latest research Numerous in-depth examples and trial transcripts—from a range of cases—that show you how you can apply the authors’ lessons in cases both large and small How you can help jurors become unified for justice Ways to get jurors to care about and understand your case How to teach jurors to value cases based on what truly matters Why noneconomic damages, assets, and human stories must become the heart of your cases and trial strategy How to better frame and value your clients’ cases through human stories Why framing your case around economic damages is wrong and plays into the defense’s hands Concepts, such as alignment and respect versus disrespect, that are based on fundamental human nature and do not change even as the world changes around us How to weave the value of noneconomic damages together with jury instructions and expert and lay witnesses How to deal with defense experts Insights for successfully handling jury selection, opening statement, direct and cross-examination, and closing argument Necessary updates for David Ball on Damages As David Ball puts it, “Damages Evolving wants to keep you ahead of the curve as our world—and thus our jurors—undergoes faster and more abrupt changes than we’ve ever seen. Trial lawyers must be armed and ready. Evolution, after all, is the survival of the fittest.” Do you want the eBook and print book?
