John Risvold attends Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College Jury Selection Seminar
This past weekend in Chicago, John Risvold attended the Trial Lawyer’s College regional Voir Dire Seminar. Over the course of three days, John trained with trial lawyers from around the country and was led by lawyers who have tried hundreds of cases before juries. The seminar was put on by lawyers trained by famed trial lawyer Gerry Spence and the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College. Gerry Spence’s Methods of Voir Dire introduce students to a method of jury selection in which they learn how to identify the danger points in their cases, to reframe them into points of power, and how to approach potential jurors as an inclusive, rather than exclusive, process. “This seminar changed the way I look at cases, and how I handle jury selection. The skills I learned at the TLC seminar will improve every aspect of my cases and will help my clients tremendously,” Risvold said of the program.
