In this episode of the podcast, Bob and Lauren dig into a topic that is prevalent in litigation and trial but not often discussed. And that is psychological warfare.
If you are a litigator, you know what it is. You start out in your case with all the enthusiasm in the world. You think the opposition will see the strength and merits of your case and then instantly cave and give you everything you want.
Not only does the opposition not cave, but they start fighting. They act is if your case has little merit, if any at all. They pound on all of the weaknesses.
This can dampen or even kill your enthusiasm for your case if you let it. And that's precisely the goal of these types of psychological tactics.
Bob and Lauren explain what psychological warfare in litigation and trial is. They mention some of the tactics they've seen and how it can be used.
They then share some strategies they have used to combat this. These strategies will help, and they will allow you to keep your enthusiasm and get a great result for your client.
