Your jury should not be your first focus group.

In this clip from Best Practices with Kenny Berger, Sean Claggett explains why he believes focus groups have become an essential part of modern trial preparation.

But this conversation is not just about testing case themes.

Sean shares how repeatedly standing in front of strangers, listening to honest reactions, and refining arguments over time made him a more confident and effective trial lawyer long before stepping into the courtroom.

The discussion explores how focus groups can sharpen communication, strengthen case strategy, and fundamentally change the way lawyers prepare for trial.

Good trial strategy is not guesswork.

In this clip from Best Practices with Kenny Berger, Sean Claggett explains how jury data can reveal exactly which issues are driving decisions on both sides of a case.

But identifying those issues is only the beginning.

Sean discusses why plaintiff lawyers must be prepared to directly confront every meaningful defense argument from the very start of trial rather than hoping the jury overlooks them.

The conversation explores how data, preparation, and structured case analysis can shape everything from opening statement to witness order and overall trial strategy.

The strongest trial themes are not assumed.
They are tested.

Fewer cases. Deeper work. Full justice.

That's not just a philosophy. It's how we walk into every case, for every client, every time.

Beyond the litigation, we all go home to families. Children. Spouses. Communities we care about protecting.

In this week’s episode of Best Practices with Kenny Berger, attorney Matt Nakajima talks about approaching settlement negotiations with community safety in mind and why conversations around non-monetary change can matter just as much as the dollars involved.

At the heart of this episode is a bigger question: how can injury lawyers use the leverage created by a case to help make our roads, businesses, and communities safer for the people who live there?

Our full conversation with Matt Nakajima is now live.

The exhibit? Safe. The case file? Handled. Our paralegals, Ami and Karissa, bring it every single day and apparently aren't afraid to let their shirts do the talking. 😄

We're so grateful to have them on our team. Happy Friday from all of us at the Law Offices of Kenneth Berger!

Throwback to Season 6, Episode 2 of Best Practices with Kenny Berger with Al Foeckler.

Strong witness preparation is not about memorizing lines. It is about helping someone return to the moment clearly enough to explain it honestly.

In this clip, Al shares a technique he learned from Dan Ambrose through Trial Lawyers University that helps witnesses mentally step back into a scene in three dimensions instead of simply describing a photograph.

Simple ideas like this can completely change the way testimony comes across to a jury.

If you have not gone back to watch this episode yet, it is full of practical trial techniques worth studying.
