In a wide-ranging interview, host Dan Ambrose talks about TLU Vegas with one of the conference’s featured speakers, guest Nick Rowley of The Rowley Law Firm. Nick touches on the importance of rising early — particularly on trial days — exercising, learning from mentors, and getting to know clients well to humanize them for juries. He also talks about Justice Watch, an organization that he is developing. Still in its inception, Justice Watch will open chapters in each state to lobby for laws important to lawyers, lodge complaints about bad judges, and promote good judges. Dan and Nick also discuss presentations at TLU Vegas and their importance to both new and seasoned lawyers. Dan encourages law students who can’t afford the conference to visit TLU Vegas and submit a scholarship application.

Alicia Campbell, co-author of JuryBall, joins host Dan Ambrose to discuss the genesis of that landmark publication and her work helping lawyers leverage big data. She also shares another important project: the nonprofit that she and her husband, John, established to fund academic research on legal issues and provide data-driven insights for plaintiffs’ lawyers. Called the Justice Through Empirical Data Institute (or JEDI), the organization aims to provide answers to questions like whether tort reform caps work and whether it’s a problem for plaintiffs if their lawyer can’t make a non-specific, non-economic damage request. Alicia also previews her presentation at the upcoming TLU Vegas, where she’ll provide a high-level overview of JuryBall and data.
Law school students who are interested in a scholarship to attend TLU Vegas should email Dan for information.

Spencer Lucas learned three important lessons from legendary personal injury lawyer Brian Panish: preparation, aggressiveness, and authenticity. A partner at the firm Brian co-founded, Panish Shea Ravipudi LLP, Spencer put those lessons to work, with Brian, to secure $135 million for two survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
Listen in as Spencer breaks down the case against the Moreno Valley Unified School District for host Dan Ambrose. In addition to describing hurdles that the team overcame, Spencer discusses spearheading the firm’s efforts to find justice for sexual abuse survivors in the wake of California’s Assembly Bill 218, which gives survivors the right to file claims that were otherwise time-barred. As Spencer explains, it’s less about the monetary results and more about shining a light on institutions that covered up abuse. “It’s been incredibly satisfying for me as a lawyer to be a part of this awareness,” he says.
At TLU Vegas, Spencer will lead a workshop about navigating sexual abuse cases, sharing insight on strategic considerations for discovery, depositions, witnesses, and more.

Verdict number 1: $7 million. Verdict number 2: $101 million. Verdict number 3: $13.2 million. That’s how a recent 30-day run went for Kimball Jones and his team at Bighorn Law.
While he’s proud of those accomplishments, and others, “It's the firm that we've put together – That’s gotta be the thing that I'm the most proud of.”
Tune in with host Dan Ambrose as Kimball describes why he’s proud of the team, especially how they bolstered the recent cases. He will share more for TLU: on October 1, he’ll break down the case with the $13.2 million verdict, a challenging one because his client didn't seek treatment for the first time until two weeks after the crash that injured her. On October 14 for TLU, he’ll analyze a wrongful death car accident case that will have gone to trial just the prior week. Then, the following week at TLU Vegas, Kimball will offer two one-hour lectures: one about lessons learned along his journey and the other about strategies to overcome “gaps-in-care” cases like the one where he secured $13.2 million.

Robert S. Glassman’s client was driving a motorcycle over the posted speed limit when a city truck cut in front of him from a side street. In the ensuing crash, the cyclist was injured.
On this episode of Trial Lawyers University, hear how Robert presented the facts about his client’s speeding during jury selection to weed out jurors who didn’t think they could be impartial when deciding who was to blame for the accident.
Robert also shares how he relied on the testimony of an expert witness to prove that – even if his client had been going the posted speed limit – the accident still would have occurred, and the injuries would have been the same.
Ultimately, the jury found that Robert’s client was speeding, but that the city truck was to blame for the accident. The verdict: $11 million to Robert’s client.

“I've always had a ‘presenter mode’… I’m ‘presenting’ to a jury,” says David Christensen. Then, he and his team at Christensen Law attended a TLU bootcamp about forming relationships instead.
They put the strategies – eye contact, slower speech, and other “micro-communication” techniques – to work at a recent trial. “It was palpable. I could feel the difference,” he tells host Dan Ambrose, founder of TLU.
Next month, it will be David’s turn to teach. At TLU Vegas, he’ll break down an unusual case in which he sued a gas station for not calling 9-1-1 fast enough when a mentally ill man was killed at the site by a homeless man. In this episode, David and Dan put their teaching skills to work as they role-play the cross-examination of a doctor as a paid expert witness. Dan guides the lesson into techniques like asking leading questions, “looping” – establishing a fact and repeating that fact in the next question – and refocusing: “Doctor, here’s my question…”
