  • Elite Trial Lawyers - Incredible Podcast

    As a longtime fan of Rahul’s work (both as a trial lawyer and teacher for other attorneys), I was hyped to hear about this podcast. I’ve listened to every episode and it has not disappointed. Rahul and Ben make an amazing team and it’s always my first listen when they have a new episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Case We Had to Take: A $6.5M Med Mal Win, with Meryl Poulin and Ben Gideon
Q: Did Travis address his responses to you during the examination, or was it more one-on-one with the jury?
The examination was designed as a one-on-one conversation with Travis seated in front of the jury, which helped draw out his authentic responses and allowed the jury to connect with him directly.
Win Big on Appeal: The Plaintiff's Appellate Playbook, with Deepak Gupta
Q: Can you share a case where you changed the outcome by reframing the issue for the court?
One example involved derivative sovereign immunity in ICE detention facilities, where strategic framing and gathering broad support helped the Supreme Court issue a unanimous ruling in favor of the plaintiffs, illustrating how framing and coalition-building can influence outcomes.
Win Big on Appeal: The Plaintiff's Appellate Playbook, with Deepak Gupta
Q: What role does timing play in involving appellate counsel in a case?
Bringing appellate counsel in early helps shape trial strategy and preserves issues, reducing waiver problems and preserving paths for a successful appeal later, especially on post-trial motions and dispositive issues.
Win Big on Appeal: The Plaintiff's Appellate Playbook, with Deepak Gupta
Q: How do you decide which issues to take to the Supreme Court?
The team flags issues with systemic impact for the civil justice system, prioritizes cases where arguments can align with justices' commitments (like originalism/textualism), and considers state sovereignty and wide-reaching implications for consumers and workers.
Win Big on Appeal: The Plaintiff's Appellate Playbook, with Deepak Gupta
Q: What makes Deepak Gupta's appellate approach stand out compared to traditional trial advocacy?
Gupta emphasizes a specialized, narrative-driven form of advocacy that distills complex issues into clear, historically grounded arguments aimed at judges, not juries, leveraging a deep understanding of constitutional and civil procedure history.
