We were honored to participate in the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association’s 53rd Annual Bench-Bar & Boardroom Conference this April. Lauren Dollar and John Carroll took the stage for a panel discussion on 'Making Every Seat Count: Integrating Young Lawyers into Trial Strategy'—a presentation developed alongside Austin Osborn, who built much of the groundwork before being called into trial.

Strong trial work depends not only on preparation and experience, but also on investing in the next generation of advocates. Conversations like these help create opportunities for young lawyers to develop meaningful courtroom experience and contribute as valuable members of the trial team.

Thank you to the KCMBA for hosting another outstanding conference and fostering collaboration within the legal community.

On April 6th, our firm, alongside Michael Blanton, represented our client, A.S., before the Kansas Supreme Court in the ongoing fight for survivors of sexual abuse—ensuring her voice is heard and her case continues forward.

This case is about more than one survivor. It centers on a critical legal question: whether changes to the statute of limitations can be applied retroactively to cases that were already timely filed. At stake is whether survivors like A.S. will be allowed to pursue their claims—or have the door to justice closed after the fact. The Court’s decision is now pending.

During Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we are reminded that accountability should not expire simply because time has passed. Survivors deserve a fair opportunity to be heard.
We are proud to stand with survivors like A.S. and remain committed to advocating for laws that prioritize justice, access, and accountability.
