Although trials are resuming, defendants are expecting plaintiffs’ lawyers to aspire to a settlement. By reassessing their presentation strategies and using legal technology to their advantage, lawyers can feel empowered returning to the courtroom and pursuing a trial that can make a difference for their clients.

The reopening of courtrooms in the United States offers trial lawyers and plaintiffs’ counsels an opportunity to change the trajectory of both their careers and the profession. Just stepping back into the courtroom should be thrilling, and arguing a case should reinvigorate a trial lawyer’s very being. More importantly, it should send a message to defendants and the legal community that plaintiffs’ lawyers are not shying away from trials.
