Summary
This episode of Trial Lawyers University features host Dan Ambrose in conversation with trial attorney Sagi Shaked, who returned to the TLU bootcamp after several years away, this time bringing his son Tomer, a recent UCLA graduate headed to Georgetown Law. The two walk through each day of the five-day bootcamp at TLU Beach: cross-examination fundamentals built on leading questions and present-tense framing, performance skills like eye contact, hand movement, and vocal control, working defendant and expert witness crosses, and a full day devoted to witness prep and direct examination using a real witness who had been beaten by police. Shaked reflects on 26 years of trial experience and how the bootcamp's intentional, drilled methodology differs from what he learned earlier in his career, while Ambrose closes out the episode with a live demonstration of his signature defense medical expert cross-examination and a rundown of upcoming TLU programs, including deposition and AI-focused conferences. ☑️ Sagi Shaked | LinkedIn ☑️ Shaked Law | LinkedIn | X | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube
