Behind the Verdict is a one-day seminar designed for plaintiff attorneys at every stage of their career, from those stepping into the courtroom for the first time to those who try cases regularly and want to sharpen what they already know.
Each presenter will walk through a recent trial in depth: the strategy behind it, the obstacles they faced, and the decisions that determined the outcome. This is not a lecture on legal theory. It is a candid, detailed account of what actually happens when you try a case.
Attendees were selected by invitation based on age and experience. The goal is to build camaraderie among the plaintiff's bar, and to give every attorney in the room the confidence and knowledge to get in the courtroom more often.
Each presenter will have an hour to an hour and a half, including open discussion. No breakout groups. One room, one conversation.
Each speaker was selected because they tried a case in the last twelve months that resulted in a significant verdict. Their experience is current. Their insight is firsthand.
Additional speaker(s) may be announced. Check back for updates.
Schedule subject to minor adjustments. CLE credit requirements will be communicated to registered attendees.
