Loyola’s New Institute for Innovative Trial Techniques Investigates the Art & Science of Juror Persuasion

The mistrial in the Phil Spector murder case prompted many to ask, "What was the jury thinking?" Loyola Law School's new Institute for Innovative Trial Techniques will provide a framework for answering that question from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm on Saturday, Oct. 13 in Robinson Courtroom on Loyola’s downtown LA campus.

In this era of increasingly high-tech courtroom presentations and in-depth scientific testimony, he institute’s mission is to equip experienced litigators to try – and win – cases by arming them with cutting-edge cognitive research on the art and science of communicating with and persuading jurors. The Institute, part of Loyola’s Civil Justice Program, will distill thousands of hours of complex research in into an easy-to-digest day of sessions designed to provide a deeper understanding of how to influence a juror. Speakers are top jury experts from such esteemed jury-appraising institutions as the Visual Persuasion Project at New York Law School, the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers’ College and more.

A complete schedule and roster of speakers is at http://events.lls.edu/cjp/itt. Registration options: $325 (regular registration); $275 for multiple attendees from the same organization or FREE for journalists and students.
