DAVID BALL on MEDICAL MALPRACTICE: The New Research

This is the most important development in how to try a case in years! Since mid-2006, North Carolina trial consultant David Ball and three of America’s top trial attorneys—Atlanta’s Don Keenan, Kentucky’s Gary Johnson, and Wyoming’s Jim Fitzgerald –have been conducting a unique series of deep-research jury sessions across the country. The results have surpassed the team’s most optimistic hopes, and revolutionized the field’s understanding of juror decision-making. Without throwing out the tried-and-true “David Ball on Damages” methodology or any of a number of other effective approaches, the new methods transform even the worst of jurors into your allies. The playing field remains as steeply tilted as ever – but now the tilt is in our favor.

The long courtroom nightmare of tort-“reform” is finally ending – even for med mal cases. If you think this is an exaggeration, you have not yet learned the new approach!

Attendance at this seminar is limited to NCATL Members who represent the plaintiff in medical malpractice cases.
