Summary

“It is shocking how many times lawyers undervalue their cases,” says Sean Claggett , a pioneer in the use of big data and co-author of “ JuryBall .” Coming off a $145 million workers' compensation bad faith verdict in Colorado – where a mediator told him, “Colorado juries don’t give the type of verdicts you’re talking about” – Sean shares how he uses big data and focus groups to determine true case value. In this conversation with hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer , he explains why anchoring themes early matters more than anchoring numbers and why conservative jurors can deliver the biggest verdicts when you push the right buttons. And he recaps what that mediator discovered: Colorado juries do give those verdicts.
