In this episode of Foster Your Voice, we're tackling one of the most common and costly habits smart attorneys fall into: speaking from expertise instead of to understanding. When you forget where your jurors are starting from, you risk losing them before your best material even lands. This episode breaks down how to translate legalese into language that sticks—so your words reach real people, not just legal minds. In this episode, you'll learn: Why "knowing too much" is a communication trap How to speak to jurors using their own words—not yours The difference between showcasing and inviting How to reframe opening statements as acts of hospitality Simple ways to use AI (and your team) to uncover juror-friendly phrasing Why silence in court may be the most powerful move you make Key Takeaway: If you want jurors to adopt your case theory, you first have to meet them in their language. You're not dumbing it down—you're welcoming them in. Favorite moment: "Your opening statement is not a showcase. You're not just explaining. You're inviting. It's a hospitality moment."
