Why you should attend
From the Trenches is all about the best part of litigation - the trials themselves. The program will focus on critical issues and strategies raised in the most significant white collar and regulatory trials of the past few years. Come inside the courtroom with the litigators on the front line, including attorneys from the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC, prominent defense counsel, and federal judges. They’ll share the real life successes and failures of the highest profile trials of the year, including the cases against Rajat Gupta, Brian Stoker, Fabrice Tourre, and Roger Clemens. The panelists will analyze trial strategies, jury selection, hostile witness testimony, unpredictable moments, the best and worst trial techniques, opening and closing statements, and much more. Our stellar faculty of judges and practitioners will also impart the valuable lessons they’ve learned from these trials. Finally, in-house counsel whose companies are caught in the midst of trials will discuss how they handle the myriad of complexities and consequences that high profile trials can bring.
