My second book, "The Most Important Juror: Embrace the Winning Story in Jury Selection, Opening Statement, & Rebuttal" has been a true labor of love and I couldn't be more proud to have contributions and insights throughout the book from some of the country's most talented trial lawyers. Allow me to take a moment to introduce you to another one of these amazing people…

When defense attorney Jacqui Ford was young, her father's felony conviction derailed her life, sending ripple effects throughout the family. Resolved to defend the accused, she was the first to go to college and receive a J.D. After passing the bar she spent six years as an Oklahoma County Public Defender, representing over 3,000 people charged with felonies. Awarded the peer-nominated Clarence Darrow award, she stood at the podium knowing she could make a stronger impact. With continued support and encouragement from the legal community, Jacqui opened her own law firm in 2011. In addition to her excellent record as a trial lawyer and advocate for her clients, Jacqui is a leader and a teacher in the legal community. She teaches seminars and continuing legal education for the Oklahoma Bar Association and the Oklahoma Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.

“Deciding the right moment to propose mediation is a tactical decision. For a long time, I thought it showed weakness for me to bring up the subject of mediation or settlement negotiations. I've come to believe that if I have prepared my case, it does not hurt in the slightest to broach settlement."
