David Farnbauch has the honor and privilege of being selected as the "Program Chairman" for the "Rules of the Road" and "Polarizing" Techniques in the Tort Reform Era seminar on August 25th and 26th in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is the largest (in terms of number of state trial lawyers associations sponsoring an event) plaintiffs seminar ever held in the Midwest. Six state trial lawyer associations are co-sponsoring this seminar featuring Rick Friedman, the most sought-after trial attorney, speaker and author in the country. There has never been an educational event co-sponsored by six state TLA's in the Midwest (or anywhere else, that we know of). From the brochure: You've read his best-selling books, Rules of the Road, and Polarizing the Case. You are hopefully applying his "Rules" methodology in your cases. It's time to learn some of the things that aren't in his books and learn the secrets behind Rick Friedman’s case selection and trial strategies. Six Midwestern state trial lawyers organizations have come together to sponsor a historical collaborative seminar featuring the most sought-after speaker/author on trial strategy in the country. Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear Rick Friedman and Don Bauermeister share their insights on selecting and trying cases in the tort-reform era. It's no secret that jurors in the Midwest are conservative, especially when it comes to damages. This seminar will likely be the one and only time that Rick Friedman will give a two-day lecture in the Midwest on strategies specifically designed to address the attitudes of "conservative" jurors. Rick's special guest will be Don Bauermeister from Anchorage, Alaska. Don will give an inspiring presentation on how conservative jurors react to moral blameworthiness. According to Rick Friedman, "Over the last 10 years, no lawyer has taught me more about trying cases than Don Bauermeister." The goal of this unique seminar is to be both informational and interactive. There will be ample time for every attendee to address their specific issues and concerns with Rick & Don.
