Overview

Know Your Playbook - and Theirs

Most CLE programs teach one side of a personal injury case well. This one teaches both - giving you a full 360-degree view of the claim, from intake to verdict. You'll build a practical command of your own side's strategy, and at every stage, see exactly how the other side is thinking. Learn the strategy you'll run and the strategy you're up against. Register today!

  • Sharpen your own playbook by seeing the one being run against you.
  • Glean practical insight into how valuation, reserves, and settlement authority actually work.
  • Uncover the strategic choices embedded in pleadings, discovery, and motion practice.
  • See how each side approaches jury selection and what they're really looking for.

Abbreviated Agenda

  1. The First 48 Hours: How Each Side Investigates and Sizes Up the Case
  2. The Valuation and Demand Game
  3. The Complaint and the Answer: Strategic Choices Hiding in Plain Sight
  4. Discovery: The Fight for Information Neither Side Wants to Give Up
  5. Medical Causation and Damages: Plaintiff vs. Defense
  6. Motions and Trial Strategy: The Inside Track to Winning (or Losing)
