The answer is not in casebooks—it is in the conversations that happen spontaneously in the office, in quiet moments after a tough trial, and in the mentorship that used to define our profession.

Verdict Academy captures these disappearing moments. Host Kevin Morrison, a nationally recognized top trial attorney, sits down with America's most accomplished trial lawyers to extract the insights you did not learn in law school, and find it tough to learn when you are working by yourself at home, but can be the determining factor in the courtroom.

Each episode delivers the kind of practical wisdom that transforms careers. These are not academic theories—they are trial-tested strategies from the country’s best trial lawyers. 

Remote work has disrupted our hallway conversations. Verdict Academy brings them back, preserving the trial wisdom that makes legends out of trial lawyers.

Great trial lawyers are made, not born. Your education continues here.

“Being a defendant,” says leading defense lawyer <u><a href="https://www.clappmoroney.com/attorneys/christopher-beeman" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chris Beeman</a></u>, “one of the benefits of getting to trial is that the plaintiffs do go first, so it gives the defense time to continue getting organized.” And being organized is critical, Chris says as he reflects on lessons learned from his 65 jury trials.

Fifty years: same firm, same building, same parking space. “There is something about stability in my background,” Dan Kelly says as he reflects on his legendary career. There is also wisdom to be shared, which Dan does with host <u><a href="https://altairlaw.com/j-kevin-morrison" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kevin Morrison</a></u> in the inaugural episode of “Verdict Academy.” A retired partner from Walkup, Melodia, Kelly &amp; Schoenberger and a <u><a href="https://plaintiffmagazine.com/recent-issues/item/smoking-justice" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">contributor</a></u> to “Plaintiff” magazine, Dan discusses three fundamental aspects of trial practice: case selection, handling losses, and working with expert witnesses. Tune in for his insights about stability, resilience, and the human side of trial practice.
