    “Being a great trial lawyer is about getting people to do what you want them to do–getting those juries to believe what you believe. It’s about influence.”In this special episode of Trial Lawyers University, Dan Ambrose switches roles from host to guest, as he’s interviewed by renowned truck accident trial lawyer Joe Fried of Fried Goldberg LLC. Tune in as Dan and Joe discuss what trial is really about (hint: it's not the facts), the training that trial lawyers need if they actually want to be great, and how to master the ‘confidence game’ at trial.

The message for trial lawyers is clear: dedication, practice, and lifelong learning are the pathways to success in the courtroom. Don’t miss out! TLU Huntington Beach is on June 5-June 8, 2024.
