Pitching the Gen X Jury
The National Law Journal
The august trial lawyer's long-winded, eloquent opening statement may be
going the way of the dodo. That's because the audience -- the jury -- keeps
getting younger. Raised on video games and cable TV, 20- and 30-somethings
want succinct statements and multimedia storytelling. So profound are the
shift's implications that five law schools have developed new curricula in
response. One expert calls the new reality "the third revolution of jury
trial advocacy."
