"JuryTest.net Creates Self-Service Internet Mock Trials"

Very interesting find from EContent magazine: "JuryTest.net, a provider of online mock trials since 2002, has launched on-demand access to its suite of online case presentation and evaluation tools.

"Keep Executive Witnesses From Falling Off the Credibility Cliff"

Here's an interesting article about corporate executive witnesses: "These are challenging times for those of us who represent and defend corporations in litigation. The recent criminal convictions of Enron's Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling only confirm what we have known for quite some time -- jurors are skeptical [PDF link] of, and even hostile toward, corporations and corporate executives.
