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.
