Knowing Why The Jury System Works Helps You Win | Episode 81

What really influences a jury’s final decision? In this IMS Insights Podcast, Senior Client Success Advisor Adam Bloomberg chats with Senior Jury Consulting & Strategy Advisor Chris Ritter to break down the psychology and strategy behind how jurors think—and how legal teams can use that knowledge to shape more persuasive case stories. 

Tune in as Adam and Chris dive into: 

• The impact of unanimous vs. supermajority verdict rules 
• How jurors absorb and evaluate information—heuristically, systematically, or both 
• Building credibility and trust with a diverse jury 
• Designing multiple persuasive paths that lead to the same verdict 
• Predicting shifts in juror alliances and adjusting your approach mid-deliberation 

This episode is a must-listen for trial attorneys, litigation teams, and legal professionals looking to sharpen their understanding of jury behavior and boost courtroom outcomes.
