1. What can a negligence lawyer do to best ensure a winning case for his client?
My three answers are: Use citations of medical records, previous court cases, and any other important documents. Use emotional appeal towards the jury either in it's selection or in court. Pay close attention to the details of the case bot on paper and in trial.
My best answer is Using emotional appeal, this is my best answer because emotions tend to cloud people's judgements so using said appeal will allow me to manipulate to verdict in my favor.
2. I loked at many cases of unrest in my own life as well as the experiment conducted for my second independent component.
3. I faced little to no problems, the only major problem was controversy, because using emotions to manipulate people tends to quite immoral. I resolved the problem by simply rewording my arguments so it wouldn't seem so offensive.
4. The two most important sources I have used were The Theory and Practice of Citations Analysis, with Special Reference to Law and Economics, and The Emotional Juror. These were so important for me because it helped me grasp the ideas of using citations for my essential question which worked to my advantage, and then the emotions case helped me because it used real life situations pertaining to law and trial that have worked to win cases and that is essentially what my EQ is asking.

Blog 19: Independent Component 2
Literal:
a) I, Nathan Guevara, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
b) Bennett, Mark W. "Unraveling the Gordian Knot of Implicit Bias in Jury Selection: The Problem of Judge-Dominated Voir Dire, the Failed Promise of Batson, and Proposed Solutions." (n.d.): 1-24. SSRN. Web. 16 Apr. 2015
c) Check the senior project hours link on the side.
d) I created a little experiment trying to determine if emotions really make a large affect on the verdict while trial. I waited in front of stores and separate occasions trying to get all together 50 different responses. I told each person a selected scenario to see if the emotion that is represented in the scenario changes their judgements thereby warping the verdict that is to come out. After gathering all the data I then made graphs representing the punishments that followed and a review on the experiment to explain and go over what I did and the outcome that followed.
Interpretive:
The this definitely demonstrates thirty hours of work by the amount of work put into my review as well as the amount of time put into waiting and trying to gather all of those responses. I will have a link at the end of this paragraph that will send you to the review I wrote as well as pictures of the scenarios and their votes on notebook paper that I used to gather their responses. I was not able to get any picture of my participants they all asked that I won't put any of their pictures on the internet.

Applied:
How did this help my EQ? Well one of my answers involved an emotional appeal towards the jury so by taking all of these regular people and implicitly pushing certain emotions I found that I can easily get a majority rule and if I can get a majority rule it won't be long after until it becomes unanimous. The emotion of boredom seemed to work the best because boredom makes people want to do anything other than what they are doing right now so they will do anything to get out of it. That was what I found the only scenario with a unanimous decision simply because they asked to opt out so they picked the punishment that I provided for them. This could not have been a better help to answer my EQ than any other book or article.
