What is "the waiter pivot"? It's an alternative approach to trial advocacy that embraces a paradigm shift in jury psychology and teaches attorneys how to surprise, disarm, and persuade modern jurors. In essence, the smart lawyer's attitude is, "Hello, I'll be one of your waiters for the trial. May I start you off with a helpful graphic?" Times have changed, and lawyers must change with them. Jurors have become experts in everything and suspicious of everyone, including lawyers and their hand-picked experts. Jurors are increasingly focused on the information and increasingly annoyed by the way lawyers spin and spoon-feed it to them. Tell jurors something is "clear," and they will assume it is not. Tell them to award a specific number, and they will ignore you. They are tired of lawyers' arguments and objections; they want us to stop bickering, roll up our sleeves, and start helping them wade through the evidence. Forget traditional voir dire, one-sided opening statements, naive cross-examination, and hard-sell closing arguments. Stop emulating mad dog litigators and calling bobblehead experts. It's time for a new play-book that ignores conventional wisdom and embraces the changes in jury psychology. It's not about us anymore.
