Tracey Bee breaks down how to turn court rulings, whether wins, losses, or partial decisions, into strategic data points you can actually use to finally move your case forward.

She explains how to read between the lines of your judge’s orders, spot behavioral patterns, and use those clues to predict future outcomes and strategically plot your next move.
