??Great time Podcasting at Trial Lawyers University with Amelia Brummel from TBI Analytics! We talked about our experiences with BrainTap, Inc. Also got to see Joe Fried ★★★★★, Elisa K. Boss, Esq., LL.M. And Bobby Taghavi from Sweet James LLP and tried NAD!

I geeked out this morning and I have no regrets. The whole week of programs at Trial Lawyers University Live in Las Vegas has been excellent, with the best trial lawyers in the country generously sharing the most cutting edge techniques and strategies for winning trials and obtaining record-breaking jury verdicts. But I’ll admit I was looking forward all week to this morning’s talk given by Przemek Lubecki (pictured here), David Sugden , and Daniel Ambrose on “The Science of High Performance at Trial.” And they did not disappoint! It was wonderful to hear from these highly successful lawyers how they prioritize doing the mental work to acquire, own, and master the high-performance skills to make themselves unstoppable at trial. I also learned some additional tools and strategies they use to bring their thoughts, physical state, and emotions in line to perform under pressure on demand. Such a great talk and it always feels wonderful to get to geek out with and learn from people who share your passions! I particularly loved getting to chat briefly with Przemek about bringing sports performance principles into the practice of law, and how lawyers who do adopt these principles gain that extra winning edge. Looking forward to many more conversations! #TLULive #TLULasVegas #HighPerformance #Coaching

Have you ever seen someone in person who you admire but you walked right by them because you were too nervous and didn’t know what to say? This has totally been me before too. Last week, I attended Trial Lawyers University in Las Vegas, and I listened to Randi McGinn speak. As I listened to her presentation on opening statement, I thought to myself how incredible she is and how thankful I am for women like her in this industry. I walked out of the room after her presentation without saying anything to her. Then, I listened to her speak the next day about damages. She had people in tears sharing client stories during her demonstration, myself included. I was blown away. I decided to wait in line to introduce myself. Without knowing exactly what to say when you stand in front of greatness, I thanked her for paving the way. Thank someone you admire. You won’t regret it.

Our double header in Vegas is a wrap! We landed early on day 1 and dropped our luggage at Vdara where our room wasn't ready, so we changed in the hotel bathroom and raced to InsureTech Connect. There, we instantly found our trusted advisor and first insurtech friend, Lucian Snow. We caught up over a quick lunch and made our rounds for a hot minute before rushing to Caesar’s to get registered for Trial Lawyers University. There we made booth arrangements and ran into one of our favorite lawyers and fellow Houstonian, Rasheed Taylor. Next stop: Paris to catch the pitch competition, where the finalists absolutely crushed their pitches. Cody Eddings, your pitch was phenomenal and we will be taking you up on your offer to help us polish our pitch! Our final stop of the day was back at Caesars for the TLU welcome party. My favorite law conference buddy Audrey Salazar and I bounced around together getting to know new faces while Joe Jones caught up with old industry friends. Day 2 was a blur! We started at TLU where we set up our booth next to the coolest booth neighbors, Kenny and Cam, from Quilia. If you're a plaintiff attorney, you should definitely check them out! Joe spent the rest of the day in classes getting CLE credit and holding down the booth while I zig zagged back and forth between ITC and TLU, tracking a record number of steps on my Oura ring in the three years I’ve had it ?? If you were at ITC, you know what I’m talking about! It was impossible to see everyone I wanted to see, but still worthwhile, filled with fruitful meetings and an awesome session by Tiana Schowe, CPCU, highlighting the keys to being a successful founder. And an added bonus was seeing my sweet friends Audry Torrence and Astrid Malval-Beharry! We rounded out the day with an 80’s themed party back at TLU and turned in early to order door dash. On day 3 we were down to one conference which felt like a vacation. We split our time between the booth and the classroom, where we learned from some of the most brilliant plaintiff attorneys in the country. My favorite thing about TLU is that vendors are encouraged to integrate into the classes and learn from the sessions along with students. This is not only helpful for forming industry relationships but also leads to a deeper understanding of the problems that our users face in their day-to-day practices. We finished strong with a costume party and dinner at Ocean Prime. YUM! Our final day flew by with more learning and networking. The highlight of day 4 was watching our good friend Lingfei (Teddy) Wu's demo of the top AI platform for plaintiff attorneys, Anytime AI. I’ll have to share the story of how we met Teddy another time as it deserves its own post. After the conference we began the journey home to our kiddos. There’s nothing like that post conference high to fuel your next steps as founders. Already gearing up for our next booth at New Jersey Association for Justice- Meadowlands in a few short weeks!

Last month, I was one of 20 law students from across the country to receive a scholarship to attend Trial Lawyers University's Trial Bootcamp Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada (another state I can check off my list), which just took place from October 16-19. Over the past few days, I didn’t just listen to lectures; I got hands-on experience in the workshops, practicing how to handle the other side’s experts on cross-examination. I learned about the critical role depositions play in shaping a trial. I also sat in on a fascinating seminar about crafting opening statements that connect with today’s often polarized jurors. (Side note: I used to think closing arguments were where all the action was! But during my externship with Judge Blackwell, I learned how crucial a strong opening statement is—it sets the tone for how the jury will view the evidence throughout the trial. That’s why I made sure to attend the opening statements seminar!) With graduation just around the corner, I’m focused on sharpening my practical skills and making the most of opportunities that will prepare me for a career in litigation. I’m also excited to meet like-minded law students beyond my MN community. If you know of any programs or workshops that would be valuable for a future litigator, I’m always all ears!
