<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

The names, acronyms and abbreviations
\nso familiar to you are not to the jurors. You may think that saying, for
\nexample, \u201cAcme Building Supply, which we\u2019ll now call ABS for convenience,\u201d is
\nenough to warrant saying \u201cABS\u201d through the rest of your trial.<\/span><\/p>\n

But \u201cABS\u201d has no guts to it, has no
\nuniqueness, no personality. As laborious as it may be for you to repeat the
\nfull name, \u201cAcme Building Supply\u201d has a history. It\u2019s associated with events and
\npeople–it has a life. \u201cABS\u201d is just another bit of alphabet soup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be sure to use the full names of people,
\nentities or objects throughout your trial. Avoid the use of pronouns or
\nabbreviated references. Jurors often have trouble keeping track of who did what
\nto whom. They will be totally lost if they must also concentrate on which
\n“he,” “she,” or “it” you are now referring to.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Certainly, well-known abbreviations are
\nacceptable, but generally speaking, abbreviations used too often only serve to
\nconfuse jurors. A confused juror is an unsympathetic juror. An unsympathetic
\njuror is the one who could cause you to lose your case.<\/span><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
