Description:  Please join Ad Idem on Wednesday, August 5 for a CLE Webinar, “Juror Perceptions of Corporations in 2026 and Successful Voir Dire Strategies”. Our speakers, including in-house litigation leaders at Ford and Continental Tire, as well as two first-chair trial attorneys and a seasoned jury consultant, will discuss juror perceptions of corporations in venues across the United States, and strategies for managing these perceptions in the current environment. Our speakers will explain the impact of “safety-ism” and Americans’ changing perception of risk, as well as the impact of the current political environment on jurors. This program will provide concrete steps that counsel can take to prepare the company for success leading up to and during trial, with a particular emphasis on successful voir dire and jury (de)selection strategies.
