Unit 3 – Case Preparation

“The first important finding of studies of people’s reaction to judicial procedures is that people are not primarily influenced by the outcome of their experience, i.e. by whether they win or lost their case, whether they go to jail or go free, or whether they pay a large fine or nothing.”  - Tom R.
