Litigation IQ

A real jury consultant reacts.

The content here includes my critique and analysis of actual testimony under oath, mainly from celebrities and high profile cases. I also analyze testimony before congress and famous courtroom scenes from movies and TV shows (or I will once I get around to it... :)  I'm still a working jury consultant and sometimes I get really busy.

Why watch?

It's entertaining and instructive.

Testifying under oath is very difficult and it's amazing to see what people actually do and say while testifying. Most people rely on the skills that have worked for them in their everyday lives. Sadly these skills often backfire.

Celebrities and other powerful people are particularly bad at testifying and they don't even realize it. It's usually not WHAT they say, it's HOW they say it. 

The skills required for effective testimony, discussed on this channel, translate over to countless other situations people encounter in life.
