From the supplier: A trial lawyer who commits to taking a case to verdict by jury should remain steadfast and trust the jury. Litigators want to be in control, but jury deliberations are beyond their direct influence, creating anxiety that can lead to mistakes unless a pre-set course is then followed. In a recent case the attorney believed the jury would swiftly return a favorable verdict, but when hours passed he lost heart and his client took an offer already on the table. The jury was, in fact, favoring the plaintiff.
