    The Litigation Psychology Podcast - Episode 237 - No Trust, No Nothing - The First Meeting with a Witness

    Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. talks about something all attorneys, but particularly early career attorneys, need to keep in mind when preparing witnesses for deposition. Sometimes witnesses come into deposition preparation with some trauma which could be related to the litigation, or from other sources, that may be triggered or further exacerbated by the litigation. It's important for the attorney to build trust with witnesses and not add to this stress in how they interact with and communicate with the witness. Bill explains the concepts of exposure theory and systematic desensitization and how attorneys need to approach witnesses they are preparing. Bill shares ideas for how to handle the initial meeting and conversation with witnesses to gauge their mental state and identify how they are doing emotionally. Let them share what's on their mind. You also need to be constantly assessing how they are doing as they could be fine but then get triggered after you start going into the details of the case. And this assessment needs to happen at each subsequent meeting with the witness. Watch the video of this episode: https://www.courtroomsciences.com/r/y8H

    The Litigation Psychology Podcast - Episode 236 - Preparing for the Storm (i.e., Pre-Litigation Management)

    Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. talks about the critical importance of preparation for litigation, and particularly early preparation. Bill discusses the risks for the defense by not being prepared and the costs for not being prepared. Bill talks about steps to take before litigation even strikes:1. Education: Identify people who will be involved in litigation and/or likely to get deposed in a future lawsuit and educate them on the litigation process and start to train them as witnesses in advance;  2. Review and edit all documentation: Policies & procedures; training manuals; employee handbooks; websites - the language in these materials often set an idealistic standard that opposing counsel will use against the corporation; review, edit, and update immediately. Communication and enforcement of the policies and procedures is key; 3. Review and revise hiring practices - Revisit your hiring practices to feel confident about your hiring protocols; hire an attorney to review your policies and procedures and hiring practices to identify your vulnerabilities; 4. Create a litigation crisis plan - Develop a plan and communicate it to all the key personnel; be sure everyone understands what to do and what not to do when there is an incident.

    The Litigation Psychology Podcast - Episode 234 - The Danger With Witnesses Who Guess

    Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. talks about the biggest mistake witnesses make during testimony: guessing. Bill describes why this happens, even in light of clear direction to not guess, and how to address it. Bill talks about the attention/behavior gap which is driven by the brain's native neurocognitive wiring and explains the two categories of reasons why witnesses guess: internal and external reasons.  Internal factors: 1. Witnesses experience shame and guilt for not knowing or not remembering something; 2. Witnesses don't want to hurt the case and/or want to win; 3. Witnesses have a fear of punishment. External factor: Plaintiff counsel. Lastly, Bill covers the four things your witnesses cannot say during testimony: 1. "I think..."; 2. "I believe..."; 3. "I assume..."; 4. "I probably....".

    The Litigation Psychology Podcast - Episode 233 - Don't Let Your Witnesses Fight with a Professional Fighter

    Steve Wood, Ph.D. talks about seeing more and more examples of witnesses who are fighting with opposing counsel in their deposition or at trial, motivated by a desire to get their story across. Steve covers several reasons why pivoting like this is a bad idea including: arguing with a professional arguer is foolish; jurors view witnesses who pivot or argue with opposing counsel as less credible; the questioning attorney will call the witness out on this move; most witnesses aren't experienced enough to be selective about when to fight and when not to fight, leading to potential pitfalls. Steve highlights that witnesses need to own bad facts and move on. A fact is a fact. Witnesses and their attorneys need to develop a trust and attorneys should share their strategy on how they plan to get the witness's perspectives across to the jury without the witness having to pivot to get their points out.
