Reptile Theory and Defense Strategies to Plaintiff’s Tactics - Presented by DeWitt LLP and Hosted by HNI Risk Services

Apr 10, 2023

DeWitt attorneys Matthew A. Drewes, Michael C. Glover, Nathan J. Nelson, and John Duncan Varda will discuss how trucking companies can defend against and counter “the Reptile Theory,” a legal strategy that plaintiffs’ attorneys sometimes use to influence the primal – or reptilian – part of jury members’ minds to provoke feelings of danger, then suggest ruling against the defendant to eliminate the danger.

To attend as a guest of DeWitt LLP, online or in person, please RSVP to Nuzhat Noor by April 17th at nnoor@dewittllp.com. For those wishing to attend online, we will send you the link.
