What Can a Trial Lawyer Learn from Michael Jackson?

Jury consultant Anne Reed admits that she was never a Michael Jackson fan -- didn't spend time glued to MTV, didn't go nuts for "Thriller." Me too (although, unlike Anne, I'd at least heard the songs and seen a video or two). Anne asks us all to reflect on what we've missed in popular culture:

it might be, like Michael Jackson, something that a lot of jurors would list among their greatest inspirations and influences. It's worth pausing at moments like this to consider what you're missing, and whether you could open a little further to the experience of people who are not you.

You don't miss someone until that someone is gone. That's true with Michael Jackson. Suddenly, radios were playing his songs 24/7, tributes were given left and right, etc.

Lawyers have so much to learn from Michael Jackson. If there is a list which enumerates people who have the most law suits, Jackson would certainly be on that list.
