Rehearse the Trial Until the Fear Disappears, with Geoff Hamby
The first time you try a case shouldn't be in front of a real jury. Geoff Hamby (https://oliverlawfirm.com/attorneys/geoff-hamby/), a partner at Oliver Law Firm, rehearses jury selection and opening with mock jurors — two rounds a day across two days — in the trial venue before pulling the trigger. His firm even starts wearing suits 30 days out to get into the right mindset. Hosts Caleb Miller (https://www.aldouslaw.com/meet-our-team/caleb-miller/) and Eleanor Aldous (https://www.aldouslaw.com/meet-our-team/eleanor-aldous/) unpack the preparation behind Geoff's $5.3 million verdict against First Student in Portland, Oregon, in only his second first-chair trial, and how he passed a Sharpie-marked brain around the jury box. Tune in to learn how relentless preparation can turn trial nerves into readiness.

Turning Client Pain Into Courtroom Strength, with Jesse Wilson
Jury trial consultant Jesse Wilson (https://tellthewinningstory.com/about-jesse/) built his victim-to-victor framework not in a courtroom, but in a prison theater program, where removing judgment became the key to authentic communication. A former Julliard-trained actor turned full-time trial consultant for nearly 15 years, Jesse now travels the country helping lawyers reach record verdicts, drawing on his two books. He joins host Charla Aldous (https://www.aldouslaw.com/meet-our-team/charla-aldous/) to explain why a witness is not her pain but the strength of trying to overcome it, why joy functions as courtroom evidence, and why choosing the victor story over the victim story reshapes case strategy. Tune in for his approach to witness preparation and opening statement.

The Storytelling Science That Wins Modern Juries, with Shane Read
Most lawyers build their case around closing argument — but the trial is already decided long before that. Shane Read, jury consultant, trial trainer, and author of six books on trial advocacy, joins host Charla Aldous to break down the brain science of trial storytelling. A former assistant U.S. attorney who tried more than 100 jury trials in 30 years, Shane explains why modern juries — digital natives and digital immigrants — process information differently, why pictures outperform word-heavy slides, and how the "curse of knowledge" blinds lawyers to their own case's weaknesses. He reveals the three questions every winning story must answer and his WIN acronym for keeping the jury's needs front and center.
