Bill Kershaw recently attended the American Association for Justice 2026 Annual Convention in Chicago, joining trial lawyers from across the country for educational programs, advocacy updates, and conversations about emerging litigation strategies.

The conference provided an excellent overview of what’s next for Roundup and pesticide litigation following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Monsanto v. Durnell, as well as how to effectively use AI in focus groups, juror selection, and the trial of bellwether and complex individual cases.

In addition to valuable insights and practical strategies to apply in the cases ahead, Bill returned with a few great views of Chicago!
