In his first event for the conference, Judy moderated the USLAW Future Leaders Courtroom Academy, a program – designed to teach by example – that allowed attendees to conduct a brief trial from opening to closing in just two days, on Wednesday, March 16.

He joined by Ryan Holt, Sweeny, Wingate & Barrow; Jessica Dark, Pierce Couch; and Meghan Goodwin, Thorndal Armstrong Delk Balkenbush & Eisinger, PC.
On March 19, Judy facilitated a retail and hospitality law discussion on creating a better claim handling process. During his presentation, How to Build a Better Claim Handling Process from Open to Close, Judy shared tools and strategies to use from claim inception to closure that will ensure the most cost-effective and/or optimal outcome at every level of the life of a claim to mitigate all aspects of claim cost. Judy was joined by Amanda J. Stacy Hartman, Senior Counsel Litigation at Speedway LLC, and Thomas S. Thornton, partner at Carr Allison.
Finally, Judy led a transportation-focused Five-Minute Drill, a fast-paced presentation on a broad range of hot, timely issues in eight distinct practice areas, including professional liability and retail and hospitality law. In his drill, What Data Can We Get from a Plaintiff’s Cell Phone?, Judy hosted discussion on what information is available from a plaintiff’s cell phone, which included discussions on the information that is available and how it can be used to our advantage in litigation. He was joined by Heather Shockley, McCranie, Sistrunk, Anzelmo, Hardy, McDaniel & Welch.
