With results that include a $150 million wrongful death verdict, Jude reveals how he achieves both goals in this conversation with hosts Harry Plotkin and Dan Kramer . If this has ever happened to you – a juror asks if you’re “in it for the money” or a juror discloses a sensitive experience like the loss of a child – tune in for Jude’s strategies.
