SUMMARY:The Power of Stories in Justice
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is an introduction to the techniques Michael Ahn uses in his work consulting litigants on the use for story in our cases. \nHumans use stories to make choices and justify actions. This is especially true in criminal justice cases\, where participants – especially jurors – undoubtedly rely on stereotypes and unconscious bias as they hear arguments and testimony\, and review evidence. These powerful story dynamics impact the outcome of the case. \n\nHow are cases and trials like a story?\nHow can you structure your case like a story?\nWhat is the “epiphany” and why is it so powerful?\nWhat kinds of bias do jurors tend to have?\n\nMichael Ahn is a trial narrative consultant who helps public defenders and social workers use story techniques in mitigation and trials. Since 2016\, Michael has consulted on hundreds of cases\, with an 80% success rate\, including acquittals on five trials where the client was facing a life sentence.
