Use The Plaintiff’s Playbook to Your Advantage
 
From 2014 to 2018, U.S. plaintiff awards almost doubled in total dollar amounts, with a few exceeding $1 billion. Whether you call them nuclear verdicts or runaway verdicts, the expensive litigation and exorbitant settlements cost carriers millions – and have a negative impact on financials for years to come.
 
You can learn how to manage this risk at the only anti-nuclear verdict training.
 
In this immersive, hands-on experience, nationally known trial leaders will teach you how to identify and proactively manage high risk claims. Plus, they will deconstruct a real nuclear verdict trial from voir dire to closing arguments – you’ll see a case unfold live, as they uncover strategies that plaintiff attorneys use to win excessive awards and share proven formulas to even the playing field.
 
What You Will Learn
This program combines in-person presentations and hands-on participation with select virtual content to provide a comprehensive learning experience. You will learn from the nation's leading trial experts, including Bob Tyson, author of the best-selling book, Nuclear Verdicts: Defending Justice for All.

We'll cover:
- techniques to identify high risk claims early and prevent escalation
- effective management of litigated claims to avoid a nuclear verdict
- elements of a jury trial
- psychology of jury selection and how to select the right jury
- how to suggest a verdict number and still get a defense verdict
 
Prior to the in-person program in Chicago participants will attend one foundational virtual primer session. Virtual session options are noted below. Participants will receive a total of 11 CE/CLE credits for both the virtual and in-person sessions.
