Our guest this week, John Blumberg, author of Persuasion Science for Trial Lawyers, describes how he incorporates developments in psychology, behavioral economics and decision making science into trial presentations. He describes why information is accepted or rejected by jurors and how decisions by juries can be affected by cognitive overload, mental shortcuts, and biases. He emphasizes the importance of presenting information simply and empowering juries to make their own decisions in an advocates framework, rather avoiding telling jurors what to think in court. John also discusses the concept of false memories and the impact of preconceived beliefs on jury decisions and shares the top three tactics lawyers can use to be more persuasive.
Why do we drift away from our values and our integrity? Is it inevitable? Does it happen to everyone? And what can we do when it happens?John Blumberg joins me to answer these questions. John is a national speaker and author and his thought leadership on integrity deepens and broadens our understanding and experience the concept of integrity.This conversation will make you think! About the Guest:John G. Blumberg is a national speaker and author. His thought leadership on integrity may very well deepen and broaden how you personally experience the concept of integrity. In 1996, John left behind an 18-year career he loved … one that had taken him from CPA to worldwide recruiting responsibilities at Arthur Andersen. Over the two decades that followed, John has evolved his general focus on leadership and culture … to a laser focus on precisely what fuels them. John is the author of four books.

Brett Gilliland: Welcome to the circuit of success. I'm your host, Brett Gilliland. And today we have in the office or the studio, as we like to call it is John Blumberg. John, welcome to the show, Brett. Great to be here with you. It's exciting. And, uh, really one, I appreciate you even doing this in, uh, in person. I know you, uh, drove down from Chicago to spend some time with us. Uh, for those of you, uh, my, my good friend over here, you can't see him on the, on the camera, from KPMG, Andrew Davidson, and, uh, so appreciate the introduction, Andrew, and, uh, we're gonna have a, a great show, um, today, John is an author, he's a speaker, he's a husband, he's a father, he's a Christian, he's, he's all sorts of stuff, so it's gonna be fun, so, as we do with everybody, John, why don't you just take our listeners through a little, a journey of your life, if you will, and, and tell us what's helped make you the man you are today. Yeah, I John Blumberg: think it, [00:01:00] and you, I think you name it well, in that it is a journey, and I think at any moment, uh, that you think you've arrived, or that you think, okay, I've got this all figured out, that's where you're back to, uh, ground zero, uh, and I, uh, I, I just watched the evolution. I spent 18 years at Arthur Anderson, uh, actually started as a CPA in audit. And, uh, I always say shifted my focus from numbers to people and, uh, spent the bulk of my time, uh, there actually working on, uh, the human development of our professionals and, and, uh, spent a lot of time eventually helping, uh, direct our recruiting worldwide. And through that process, uh, there was a lot. Um, that I learned about myself is that I helped others learn about themselves. And I think over time, um, I just thought if you could help others be better at what they do. And it really culminated, I was, uh, in a firm wide role and we did these student leadership conferences. And there was a guy Uh, it was a student, uh, that came up to me at the end of the presentation. It was a, [00:02:00] a three day thing. I had a Saturday night, uh, keynote that I did in my role, and it was called Getting a Vision for Your Life. And, um, people would always come up and say, John, I like your stories. Uh, but this guy, Sam, walked up, and he said, um, and he was the last guy in line, and you always pay attention to the last one, right, because they don't want anybody behind them, right? And he said, Mr. Blumberg, uh, what you shared tonight I think will change the direction of my life. And what's ironic about that is I wish I knew Sam's last name because I would go find him because a year later him coming up to me that night changed the direction of my life. Um, walking away, uh, from pretty much everything, a firm, a position, everything that was wonderful was a stumbling block that I had to let go of. And I've learned a lot about letting go, uh, in the years to follow, but it began this journey of, um, Eventually leadership and then eventually, uh, uh, core values. And of course, you can't go out and be speaking on something that you're not continually growing on. So, and

Reviewing a recent book on persuasion trial trips based in science, Stefan Love's conclusion is that the tips are in greater abundance than the science. True, there is much interesting science on the limits of human attention: for example, you can get a jury to remember a few things, but one too many and they forget it all. But does this mean you should ditch a particular piece of secondary evidence at trial? That, as ever, still comes down to discretion and common sense.Stefan talks with Jeff Lewis and Tim Kowal about some of the other helpful trial advice in John Blumberg's Persuasion Science for Trial Lawyers, and whether it is scientific, or just common sense. Advice like:Excessive information can lead to worse, not better, decisions.Juries learn better with pictures. But avoid competition for resources: do not use written word, spoken word, and images all at the same time. It creates overload.You should not present all your evidence at trial, because it overloads the jury's cognitive capacity.Judges who strive to run ruthlessly efficient trials should reconsider: eliminating downtime actually undermines jurors' ability to process the information.For the same reason, trial lawyers should slow down, use repetition, and even stop talking every now and then.Stefan Love's biography and LinkedIn profile.Appellate Specialist Jeff Lewis' biography, LinkedIn profile, and Twitter feed.Appellate Specialist Tim Kowal's biography, LinkedIn profile, Twitter feed, and YouTube page.Sign up for Tim Kowal's Weekly Legal Update, or view his blog of recent cases.Use this link to get a 25% lifetime discount on Casetext.Other items discussed in the episode:Arkansas Times LP v.

"Your proposition may be good, but let's have one thing understood: Whatever it is, I'm against it. And even when you've changed it or condensed it—I'm against it!"—Professor Wagstaff (Groucho Marx) in the 1932 movie Horse Feathers Attorney John P. Blumberg's new book, Persuasion Science for Trial Lawyers, published by Fastcase Full Court Press, “takes a fascinating new approach to examining why certain advocacy techniques do and don't work to persuade trial juries,” writes Susan G. Poehls. Director of Trial Advocacy Programs and William C. Hobbs Professor of Trial Advocacy at Loyola Law School, Poehls calls it an eye-opening read, one that will run "counter to what many of us have been taught for decades."John joins me to discuss his study of the science behind persuasion. He examines a number of important concepts for trial attorneys, such as how emotions overcome rational thought, and how mental fatigue interferes with how we receive information, leading us to take mental shortcuts rather than doing the hard work of critical thinking. He also writes about understanding the differences between liberal and conservative brains. In addition to being an author, John is a board-certified trial attorney based in Long Beach, California. He handles both legal and medical malpractice litigation and is on American Board of Trial Advocates. You will especially want to hear my contributions, such as what I know about the rule of threes. For example, a joke about a doctor, a lawyer, and a duck is much funnier than one about just a doctor and a lawyer. Unless, of course, at least one of them is a duck.
