Studies show that only seven percent of what we communicate are our spoken words. As much as 93% of what we communicate is nonverbal. Our bodies are our frontline of expression. It’s what everyone sees. There is no hiding it. Every gesture has enormous implications in telling a story, and the courtroom is no exception.
