Head to the Trial Lawyers University REPLAY series for Popham partner Dirk Vandever’s TLU Beach 2024 presentation, “Dirk’s Trial Manifesto.”

The webinar focuses on how trial lawyers can build stronger, clearer themes and visuals in any case — without starting from a blank page or overwhelming jurors with every fact in the file.

Dirk walks through a practical checklist process for identifying memorable themes, shaping the lens through which jurors see the evidence, and tailoring those themes to the unique facts of each case.

The program includes a one-hour lecture focused on the use of evolving trial theme checklists, along with breakout session work on applying recurring themes to specific cases and trial problems.

Trial lawyers can register through TLU for the June 10 replay at 12:30 PM CST.

It can get worse. Suffering a serious, life-changing injury after a car crash is bad enough. But a crash can also cause serious, life-changing debt.

Someone else's mistake can cost you your income, your mobility, your savings, your independence, and the future care you may need to recover.

If the driver who hit you has no insurance — or not enough insurance — there may not be enough money available to cover the harm they caused.

That is why UM/UIM coverage matters.

For cyclists, runners, walkers, and anyone vulnerable on the road, this coverage can be the difference between being protected and being left to absorb the cost of someone else’s mistake.

Check your policy before you need it.

DM us the word COVERED for a downloadable PDF explaining your rights and options in case of a car crash, including important information on UM/UIM coverage.

The amount, Porto said, ranks among the highest publicly reported settlements involving police shootings in the country. But, he said in a news release, the settlement should only be the beginning. “What good is one of the largest settlements in the history of this kind of work if there is no change?” Porto said.

Cycling gives people health, discipline, camaraderie, community, and a way to feel connected to the place they live. For many riders, the bike is more than exercise. It’s friendship, freedom, and a shared responsibility to look out for one another.

At Popham, we’re proud to be part of the cycling community — and we take that role seriously.

That means advocating for cyclists’ rights, helping educate drivers, and doing our part to make the road safer for everyone who uses it. 🚴

Because when cyclists and drivers better understand each other, everyone is safer.
