MASTERS SERIES 2026

In-Person Seminar

MASTERS SERIES 2026

6 CLE Credits (5 Skillls & 1 Ethics)

How do some of the most talented lawyers in New York consistently achieve the very best results for their clients? How do they deal with problems that have the potential to destroy their case?  Over the last 35 years a small group of lawyers have repeatedly attained the very best results for their clients at trial. Learn the answers to these questions:  Why did the jury return such a large award? How did the lawyer ask for money damages? How did the lawyer work with favorable and unfavorable trial evidence? How did the lawyer deal with problem areas during jury selection?

This seminar will demonstrate what these lawyers do and say in Opening Statements and Closing Arguments to achieve spectacular results. It will also focus on the way in which they dealt with tough and problematic issues during jury selection. Every member of this renowned faculty has obtained multiple million dollar verdicts.  Trial demonstrations are what this program is all about. As an added bonus a portion of this program will be devoted to legal ethics at trial.

Advance registration is required. Seating is limited. Walk-ins will not be accepted.
