Celebrity trials such as Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard and State of South Carolina v. Alexander Murdaugh caught the attention of the world as the trials played out on numerous media platforms. The widespread availability of video of key moments in these trials offer the unique opportunity to trial attorneys everywhere to learn from these trials and utilize these lessons learned. A panel of experienced trial lawyers will present and discuss video clips from these trials and engage the audience in a lively discussion of what can be learned and the “take away” from these celebrity trials.
