What is the
Nuclear Verdicts Defense Institute

Based on the principles set out in the best-selling book, Nuclear Verdicts: Defending Justice for All, the Nuclear Verdicts Defense Institute is a four-day educational experience for seasoned defense attorneys to improve their skills for stopping Nuclear Verdicts®. Through presentations and practical activities, attendees will learn proven strategies for defusing juror anger and defending against astronomical jury verdicts. The entire learning experience will be held in a private environment, reserved only for defense attorneys and with no plaintiffs’ counsel or sponsors present.

Who Should Attend

The advanced curriculum is designed for experienced defense attorneys who have tried jury cases and who want to learn the skills for combatting the evolving plaintiffs' bar tactics for enraging juries into delivering skyrocketing damage awards. Attendees will participate in exercises focused on the psychology that drives juries to deliver Nuclear Verdicts® and will learn why and how to change the way they defend their clients' cases to stop Nuclear Verdicts®.
