A serious injury tells the jury what happened to your client. But they also need to understand why it happened.

In this clip from Best Practices, Russell Pate explains how he framed a difficult premises liability case around a larger question of safety: Do the rules designed to protect people apply to everyone?

It's one of several practical lessons Russell shares about finding clarity in an imperfect case, confronting difficult facts, and giving jurors a clear framework for making their decision.

Some of the best lessons from aviation have nothing to do with airplanes.

For trial lawyer Andrew Robb, they shape how he investigates catastrophic cases, thinks about damages, and ultimately builds the case around the person who was harmed.

This Best Practices Breakdown explores what aviation can teach trial lawyers about root cause analysis, redundancy, credibility, proving future loss, and knowing when more evidence isn't necessarily better.

At the center of it all is a simple idea: understand what happened, understand what was lost, and build the case around what best serves the client.

This post is drawn from attorney Kenny Berger's latest Practice of Law segment in our quarterly newsletter.

Private equity is reshaping hospitals, and now it is studying law firms. In his article, Kenny examines what that means for clients, why a values-based firm has to be willing to answer out loud who comes first, and where the profit-first model leads when the stakes are someone's life.

The full newsletter is available on our website.

If there's one thing 100 conversations with great trial lawyers have made clear, it's this: no one gets there alone.

Every great lawyer we've talked with can point to someone who taught them, challenged them, gave them an opportunity, or shared something they had learned the hard way.

And then they did the same for someone else. That's what has made 100 episodes of Best Practices possible.

Lawyers willing to give their time and share their ideas so someone else might walk into their next deposition, mediation, or trial a little more prepared.

To every guest who has been part of these first 100 conversations: thank you for passing it on.

We'll keep learning.

The demonstration was supposed to take two seconds.

Instead, the jury watched as five seconds became ten. Then twenty. Thirty. A full minute.

In this story from Episode 100 of Best Practices with Kenny Berger, aviation trial lawyer Andrew Robb recalls the moment an opposing expert's courtroom demonstration did not go according to plan.

The expert had practiced it repeatedly. But in front of the jury, it simply did not work.

What followed became a textbook example of what Andrew calls the “OJ rule” of trial practice:

Never manipulate physical evidence in front of a jury unless you know with 100% certainty what's going to happen.

Because sometimes, as Andrew puts it, “the truth has a way of presenting itself.”

In catastrophic cases, identifying what failed is only the beginning.

What else should have prevented it?

In this clip, Andrew Robb uses the concept of redundancy in aviation safety to show why the strongest investigations keep going beyond the immediate cause.

What safeguard failed? What backup should have caught it? And why didn't it?

It's one of many practical ideas Andrew shares in a broader conversation about investigating catastrophic cases, proving the full extent of a client's loss, maintaining credibility, and building cases around the best possible recovery for the client.

And we're especially excited to share this one today:

In our latest newsletter, attorney Symone Kimelman reflects on something we often forget when celebrating a meaningful milestone: the work that made it possible.

Inspired by watching her husband graduate and begin a second career, Symone shares how that experience reminded her that meaningful results, whether in life or in the practice of law, are built through preparation, persistence, and the countless decisions no one else sees. She also offers a behind-the-scenes look at what that commitment looks like when representing clients through life-changing injury cases.

100 episodes gave us a reason to look back.

What we found was not one formula for great trial work. It was a collection of lessons that kept coming back across six seasons and dozens of conversations.

These are 10 that have stuck with us.

Each came from a lawyer willing to share something that took years of experience, successes, losses, mentors, and hard-earned lessons to learn.

And maybe that's the biggest lesson of all:

No one becomes a great trial lawyer alone. The best lawyers never stop learning. And they don't keep what they've learned to themselves.

We're grateful to every guest who has shared with us along the way.
