Presented By: State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE

Co-produced with the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA)

Celebrating 30 Years of the Annual Institute of Trial Practice

Full-blown jury trials have become increasingly rare, and 2020 has made getting firsthand courtroom knowledge even more difficult. That's why we’re bringing the courtroom to you. We’re highlighting some of the best cases from the past ten years, so you’ll still have a chance to (virtually) immerse yourself in this unique mock trial experience. Each program will give you unique insights into every phase of trial from both the bench and the bar.

See a complete trial conducted, including jury deliberations

Here’s a unique opportunity to observe the law in action and add to your knowledge of trial procedure – techniques that apply to both civil and criminal trials!

Watch top Wisconsin trial lawyers try a personal injury case before the Honorable Scott R. Needham, ABOTA’s 2010 Judge of the Year, and become a better trial lawyer in the process.

This case, in which liability and damages will be tried to a live jury, involves a number of unique facts and issues. While hauling a heavy trailer, the defendant’s pickup truck struck the rear of a semi-truck cab driven by the plaintiff, who claims he can no longer perform his over-the-road truck-driving job due to injuries to his lower back. Defendant claims his view was blocked by two cars traveling in front of him, and when the SUV in front of defendant pulled left out of the curb lane, the stopped semi cab was right in front of the defendant. Issues to be tried include the defendant’s negligent control of his vehicle — and in particular — failure to maintain a safe following distance. Witnesses include the plaintiff, defendant, responding police officer, vocational experts, treating neurosurgeon, and IME neurosurgeon.
