Anatomy of a Trial is back by popular demand! Join our stellar faculty of Superior Court judges and experienced advocates as they engage in live demonstrations and a comprehensive examination of the best techniques for conducting a trial. Lawyers of all levels, from the new litigator to the seasoned veteran, will benefit from this practical and insightful program. 

A catastrophic dive. A shallow pool. A $10 million question of liability.

When Tyson Campbell suffered a life-altering spinal cord injury at Oakwood Resort, the facts raised serious questions about alcohol service, safety standards, and personal responsibility. Was he over-served at The Boozy Badger? Did the resort fail to meet its obligations under occupiers’ liability law? Or was this a tragic case of assumed risk?

With damages already agreed, the courtroom battle turns entirely on liability—where competing narratives, complex evidence, and high stakes collide.
