CVN screenshot of plaintiff's attorney Bethany Schneider delivering her closing argument
On Wednesday, August 12 at 11am Pacific, Courtroom View Network and TBI Med Legal will present a unique webinar based around courtroom video from a real TBI trial focused on the moment-to-moment trial tactics and strategy that no attorney learns in law school and can only grasp by watching real pros, in action, live in the courtroom.
Atlanta-based attorney Bethany Schneider of Schneider Injury Law will curate video clips highlighting key moments from a TBI case she took to trial in 2019, which ended in a $5.5 million verdict. The case involved a plaintiff struck on the head by a falling metal pipe while waiting under a hotel’s taxi stand.
Free registration for Wednesday’s webinar is available here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_cyDtnz6AR2iTZyxHlanVEw
Bethany will be joined by two of the most accomplished trial attorneys in the country, Zoe Littlepage of Littlepage Booth Heckman and Athea Trial Lawyers, and Lisa Blue of Baron and Blue and Athea Trial Lawyers.
Attendees will get to watch critical moments in the trial filmed by CVN from both opening and closing statements and witness testimony. Bethany will delve into granular but important moment-to-moment trial details like why she worded something a certain way in openings, why she rephrased a question during direct-examination, even why she used a certain tone - and how it all came together to deliver a $5.5 million verdict.
Attendees will also get an up-close look at the exhibits and demonstratives, as seen in the screenshot above, that play a key role in conveying the complex medical and scientific information involved TBI cases to a jury of laymen.
Zoe and Lisa will bring their decades of jury trial experience representing plaintiffs to the table, providing an outside perspective to critique and analyze what they found effective about Bethany’s choices in the courtroom, what they might have done differently, and how you can use this experience to better prepare you for your next TBI trial.
Zoe Littlepage is a member of the prestigious Inner Circle of Advocates, an exclusive organization made up of some of the most accomplished plaintiff trial attorneys currently in practice.
