“Depositions can expose the strengths and weaknesses of the case and position it for settlement, a factor that is increasingly important as trials become less common. When deposing the principals for the other side, you have a good opportunity to lay out the weaknesses of their case and talk directly to the people who will participate in settlement decisions."
The tip of the day for September 18th, 2026, comes from the book “Moe Levine on Advocacy II”. Get your copy today: https://tr.ee/Gln5K1
“If [the jurors] get the impression that the doctor is fencing and being an advocate, and taking sides, and trying to help, the doctor's efficiency is destroyed."
The tip of the day for September 17th, 2026, comes from Rick Friedman's book “The Way of the Trial Lawyer: Beyond Technique”. Get your copy today: https://tr.ee/v7Q1tq
“There is no formula for when and how to express your own emotional truth in the courtroom. But the more connected you can be to your own emotional truth, the more powerful an advocate you can be."

New Live Webinar Tomorrow! "Find the Frame: Where Strategy Meets Science in Trial Preparation" with Jessica Brylo, September 17 @ 3:30 PM ET. Register today to catch her live or sign up to watch the on-demand at your convenience: https://tr.ee/gMjhwK
Every case has a frame. If you do not choose it, jurors will choose it for you.
In this live webinar, attorney and trial consultant Jessica Brylo shows how to build a persuasive frame on purpose, using focus groups and large-scale juror data studies rather than instinct. Focus groups tell you why jurors feel the way they do, what shifts blame, and which defense argument you are failing to overcome. Big data tells you what statistically moves damages, which juror characteristics predict a defense verdict, and what the case is worth.
What you will take away:
– How to uncover the frame that actually persuades, worked through real case examples.
– How to read findings, what to be skeptical of, and how to turn results into trial strategy.
– What to test, when to test it, and how to apply what you learn in the courtroom.
The tip of the day for September 16th, 2026, comes from David Ball & Gary C. Johnson's video “Winning the Unwinnable Case”. Get your copy today: https://tr.ee/RC9RnE
“The defense knows that they can wear you down and outspend you. When they have unlimited funds, [refer out your case]."

How to Establish Vicarious Liability: Winning Against Amazon, Uber, and Other E-Commerce Behemoths with Karen Koehler & Mo Hamoudi, September 16 @ 3:30 PM ET. Register to join us live or watch the on-demand when convenient: https://tr.ee/1yWoyM
Amazon moves millions of packages a day through planes, trains, semi-trucks, delivery vans, and contracted drivers. When one of those vehicles hurts someone, Amazon's corporate structure is built to deflect the blame.
In this plaintiff-only live webinar, Karen Koehler and Mo Hamoudi of Stritmatter Law give a practical roadmap for holding e-commerce giants accountable.
What you will take away:
– Investigation: identifying the players, from Amazon and its delivery service partners to Flex drivers and freight carriers, and preserving critical evidence before it disappears.
– Vicarious liability: defeating the independent contractor defense, obtaining Amazon's routing, telematics, and performance-metric data, and working through protective orders.
– Damages: framing the human harm that results from a faster-is-better business model.
Whether you are evaluating your first Amazon case or refining your approach, you will leave with a concrete plan you can put to work immediately.
Note: This is a plaintiff-only program, available to civil plaintiff and criminal defense attorneys, and it requires a binding agreement before purchase.
The tip of the day for September 15th, 2026, comes from Lisa Blue & Robert Hirschhorn's book “Conducting Voir Dire”. Get your copy today: https://tr.ee/ZZUkNI
“Remember that a panel member who is great for you on deciding the issue of liability may be terrible when it comes to determining damages. You might try to integrate your jury with both types, including both excellent liability jurors and others who are strong on damages."
The tip of the day for September 14th, 2026, comes from the book “David Ball on Damages”. Get your copy today: https://tr.ee/wTXXI3
“In voir dire, legalese discourages jurors from talking freely with you. In opening, legalese makes jurors listen to you less and trust you less."
The tip of the day for September 11th, 2026, comes from Mark Kosieradzki's book “30(b)(6): Deposing Corporations, Organizations & the Government, Third Edition”. Learn how to navigate the bureaucratic maze and build a substantial record of the defense’s words and documents to hold them accountable. Get your copy today: https://tr.ee/kh3xKj

The tip of the day for September 10th, 2026, comes from Michael Neff’s book “Advanced Premises Liability: A Guide Through Trial”. Learn how Neff approaches discovery, depositions, expert cross, and trial themes in premises litigation: https://tr.ee/hVCLDK
“In the practice of law, you want to establish yourself as the lawyer who the judge can trust for accurate citations to the law and accurate factual representations. This credibility can mean the difference in swaying the judge in close calls. This will be worth it for your client and for your reputation."
