Steven S. Kaufman Family Anatomy of a Trial Lecture Series 2026 -- Session 1
The Steven S. Kaufman Family Anatomy of a Trial Lecture Series is a signature program designed to take participants inside the art and strategy of trial advocacy—step by step, decision by decision. Led by nationally respected trial lawyers and judges, the series goes beyond theory to show how exceptional advocates actually prepare, think, and perform in the courtroom.This spring, the series continues its deep dive into trial practice by following one complete case file across all three sessions, allowing participants to see how early strategic choices shape every phase of trial—from pretrial motions through jury deliberations. Each session builds on the last, offering a rare, cohesive look at how a case is developed, presented, and argued before a jury.Participants will receive the case materials in advance, observe live demonstrations, and engage in candid discussions about advocacy choices, pitfalls, and persuasion.
