How you can evaluate facts like a lawyer | Jyllian Bradshaw | TEDxDayton

How do you know a fact is a fact? Jyllian shares several tests attorneys use in the courtroom to determine the validity and relevance of evidence. By viewing information like a lawyer, she shows how you can distinguish fact from fiction in your everyday life.
Jyllian's industry background began as a high school teacher in Orlando. After a failed audition for American Idol, she did the next best thing and attended law school at the University of Dayton School of Law. After passing the bar exam, she focused her practice on labor, employment, and education. Employers of all kinds often look to Jyllian for guidance related to their workforce. Jyllian has a healthy obsession with her husband, two children, and Taco Bell. She would be happy to offer her opinion on just about anything (even if you don't ask) and prefers to communicate in movie quotes. When asked how she was feeling about the TEDxDayton event, she replied, "Will there be snacks?" This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

They need to teach this stuff in school as critical thinking is at an all-time low at the moment.

[@alltheusernameswastaken8936]

Where is your evidence? :)

[@confidence-accelerator]

Love this talk. Good information with a smidge (or a lot) of humor mixed in.

[@oblicsorders25]

She should be on TV as a comedian. Her talent is beyond a lawyer. 😂

[@robtilley8922]

My first thought, too. I'd watch her presenting a documentary. I bet she is great in court.

[@lindokuhlemsibi3914]

I subscribe to this school of thought. We live in a day in age where there's so much information flying around, we make the mistake of taking it as truth.."..Just because you can find it on google". It is even worse when a famous person says or present it. Society makes quotes out of those and we don't "squeeze them".

[@Bobkanada]

Wow! Great show! Keep up this great work!

[@vokethegem4419]

She was actually great!

[@MrDarshD]

Thank you so much! Super helpful

[@JCOwens-zq6fd]

The rules of the courtroom do not apply to day to day irl discourse so well. One would be better off using the laws of logic & knowledge of the logical fallacies. Lawyers lie for a living folks. Court is NOT about what is true, it is about what you can make people believe is true.

[@a.stewart2641]

YES YES YES!!!

[@georgcantor7172]

I've met lawyers who scoff at using logic. They use the techniques of lying and gaslighting and the "gift of gab."

[@deboraamado]

Totally agree with this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@narrativegatherer3128]

Isn't that how world works?

[@thechaoticdesi]

What is she saying that suggests ignoring logic?

[@jessicaleyva7783]

Omg, love the way she explained things… 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@nicolemolloy1747]

Love this!! 👏🏻

[@CJRSA788]

This was awsome!!! I've already been labelled as a CURMEDGEON 😂 The tools given to me in this wonderful presentation will help me to further reinforce my girlfriend's opinion of me 😂

[@lonelystupidwar]

This is a perfect example of why this holy moment is not the best time to be alive.

[@maryamrashidi2329]

Spot on re "legal rules can be applied in non-legal situations"... Good talk, thank you.

[@simaroyaich-kf2vu]

Asking for evidence should be a lawyer's first priority rather than anything👍

[@bukurie6861]

Thank you❤😍🌏❣️❣️❣️

[@jackbauer322]

There are no facts in court ... you'd be better off evaluation like a scientist ..

[@japol2023]

How can you evaluate facts like a lawyer and distort them to suit your narrative? Truth is of no importance to a lawyer,the only important thing is his clients' case.

[@user-ok1xq5qm9t]

If you have this low iq as we can see through your comment, please, consider to stop talking publicly. Its enough stupidity without you, dont add on to it. Thank you for underestanding.

[@BigHenFor]

A client's case should be the truth. But everybody lies, and not always purposive or with the intent to lie. It's a sad fact that the truth is pretty difficult to establish. Our grip as a species on truth is somewhat idiosyncratic. The best example of this is Eyewitness Tesuimony. It has been well-established that you can have several people witness the same incident, and they will tend to each have a distinctly different memory of the incident. Moreover, their memories of the incident can be contaminated where they were relative to the incident, their on cognitive skills and capacity, and their own psychological status st the time. People are unreliable witnesses, by nature. So, the need to ensure that a clients case is plausible and backed up by credible evidence is critical. And as the amount of innocent people who get locked up in prison, it could be argued that the legal system is less concerned with truth than we would like to admit. And that's of the sometimes conflicting goals and directions. But 8ts for tthe people working as lawyers to strive to keep the process as honest as possible.

😂😂

[@bobtrambley6210]

Canned laughter??

[@lisamarieorlando4413]

Is she a real lawyer ? If so what State? Lol

[@simplepixel5617]

Her talk, AWESOME. BUT, lately I can't stand to watch Ted Talks any more because of the people that laugh at every single word. The way she talks sometimes is just meant to make the presentation more fun not only funny. It's like the come to a stand up comedy performance not to listen to what the person has to say. It's just cringe!

[@JoshPhoenix11]

Facts didn't seem to matter one bit when it came to the v*ccine, neither did the ethical and professional codes of conduct of so-called medical experts, or media, or neither did the standards and protocols of modern medicine. That the very day before the outbreak were the cardinal rule. But all an instant, all the advancements, achievements and excellence in the field of medical science went right out the window as though it was meaningless.

[@unvaccinatedAndPureBlood]

Question I want to ask her, is 'What is a Woman?' If she can answer that woth facts, she's a keeper

[@robinhood20253]

Bet she is all giddy about that.
