Sean Claggett – Forget What You Learned in Law School. Juries Are Predictable

When Sean Claggett says that it’s rare for a lawyer armed with data to lose at trial, he has the data to back it up.

The evidence can be found in the pages of JuryBall: The Big Data Revolution is Here, the groundbreaking book that Sean wrote with Alicia Campbell and John Campbell. As Sean explains to host Dan Ambrose, their research made it clear that lawyers should reject the notion that jury trials are risky because “you never know what a jury is going to do… I think juried behavior is very predictable.” In this wide-ranging conversation, Sean recounts the genesis of JuryBall, his recent $24.6 million verdict in a med-mal case, and the tracks he’ll teach at TLU VEGAS.
