Let’s be real… life’s heavy right now.

Trial?

Even heavier.

So I’m bringing back one of MY favorite episodes…

Because we could all use a reminder that joy is part of the job 💖

Yep, I said it: If you’re not having fun at trial, you’re doing it wrong.

⚖️ Trial is serious.
💗 Trial is emotional.
🎢 Trial is a rollercoaster.

But most importantly…

It SHOULD be fun too!

You can be a badass in the courtroom and have a good time doing it.

It does NOT have to be one or the other.

Come back to what made you love this work in the first place.

Love,
Sari 💖

“When I say have fun at trial, I don’t mean act like it’s a joke. I mean be in it—fully. Let yourself feel the fear, the pride, the anger, the joy. That’s what fun really is. It’s not clowning around. It’s being alive in the courtroom.”

Bringing back one of the MOST popular debriefs EVER on my podcast.

Scott Maucere had a complex securities fraud case — three state laws, seven claims, and 11 defendants.

And he shaped it into a sharp and simple story the jury didn’t JUST understand… they BELIEVED in it.

And yes… he brought a pink piggy bank into court, pulled out a hammer and made the jury GASP. 🐷

Verdict?

$2M, including $1M in punitives.

Here’s what Scott shares:

👉🏽 HOW he distilled a legal jungle into 3 simple jury rules — so clear they quoted them back in closing.
👉🏽 WHY trying to “persuade” the jury is the wrong move — and what actually works.
👉🏽 WHAT happened when he pulled out a hammer and made the jury gasp.
👉🏽 HOW honest voir dire, designed alliance, and a COVID delay turned strangers into a team.
👉🏽 WHY giving up your “brilliant ideas” might be your smartest move.

This episode is PACKED with heart, strategy, and proof that fun and truth still WIN in trial.

Love,
Sari 💖

“You don’t have to be a magician. You don’t have to persuade people that lying is wrong. You just have to give the jury the truth and let them act. I went in with three simple rules: tell the truth, don’t cover things up, and if you do—make it right. We treated the jury with respect, let go of control, and they showed up every single day, even after COVID delays, because they wanted to do the right thing.”
