As women in the legal field, we have spent an inordinate amount of time and energy trying to fit into a profession that was not historically built for us. What if, instead, we focused our time and energy on the things we value and that make us valuable to our profession? DRI’s Women in the Law Seminar hopes to achieve just that with programming and networking events focused on issues and topics meant to explore women’s unique strengths and challenges, celebrating all of our victories and defeats, and leaning into our true selves to ultimately find the joy and strength in our authenticity instead of trying to fit the outdated mold originally created by and for men.

Jury verdicts are rising nationwide due to economic factors and tactics employed by the plaintiff bar, which include narrative-style storytelling and specific damage claims that encourage speculative damages, leaving the defense bar playing catchup. If you encounter these issues and want tools to fight back, join us in Philadelphia for a hands-on seminar. The first day features a live mock trial with impartial jurors, where defense lawyers will present a case involving nebulous injuries from a clear liability collision to secure a nuclear verdict. You’ll learn trial tactics, strategies, and pitfalls from both sides, watch the jury deliberate, and analyze their thought process. On Wednesday, there will be an open forum with jury consultant Nick Polavin to discuss the mock trial’s outcome and lessons learned. We will conclude the seminar by hearing from subject matter experts in the area of artificial intelligence and the role it has, and will continue to have, in litigation. Get ahead of your competition by learning how to use AI (and importantly, how to use it ethically), and how to identify and combat your opponents’ unethical or problematic use of this changing technology.
