    John Uustal – Try the Case in the Courtroom, Not the Case in the File

    You have to be alive to the moment that can win you the case, and seize that opportunity.

John focuses his practice on “cases that can’t be won for families that can’t afford to lose.” Dan and John discuss some of John’s biggest cases, including a $60 million verdict against General Motors early in his career–that General Motors actually paid in full with interest to the tune of $90 million. Tune in as John shares insight on how to leverage silence in the courtroom and why you need to be adaptable at trial.

    Jakob Norman – Discipline, Self-Awareness and Navigating Trial Against a Corporate Giant

    When you go up against a big corporation, be prepared to get nothing and stick with it. Be prepared to feel a little bit stupid. But it doesn’t matter because if you have a story to tell the jury, the corporation’s lies become the story, their cover up becomes the story, their non-answers become the story, and the jury can figure that stuff out. 
    Tune in to this episode of Trial Lawyers University as Dan Ambrose speaks with Jakob Norman, a trial lawyer who recently won $21M in compensatory damages on a toxic tort case, a case which originally had an offer of $50,000 and was passed up by other attorneys.
