Or as the full Paul Newman quote goes…
‘If you’re playing poker and you look around the table and can’t tell who’s the sucker – it’s you’
Keep that in mind as you read this piece, A THEATRICAL APPROACH TO TEACHING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE COLLEGE OF LAW, and watch the video.
As I commented at the link…
All potential jurors should watch this video. While they are watching they should keep in mind this Paul Newman quote, “‘If you’re playing poker and you look around the table and can’t tell who’s the sucker – it’s you’ .
That’s the attitude a juror needs to have because they are the “suckers” who got chosen and everyone in the courtroom is trying to manipulate them. In fact, they were being evaluated for their ability to be manipulated during the jury selection process.
This video should be made mandatory viewing by all potential jurors. A bit on jury nullification wouldn’t be a bad idea either, but one small step at a time.
