Most litigation strategy is shaped in state trial courts, yet much of the legal research ecosystem remains centered on appellate opinions rather than the procedural patterns, judicial tendencies, and real-world outcomes that define trial-level practice.
As timelines compress and clients expect faster, more informed guidance, early clarity has become essential. The ability to assess risk at filing, evaluate judicial context, understand opposing counsel patterns, and anticipate motion and expert dynamics can materially influence the direction of a case.
At Legalweek 2026, Trellis will host a series of live training sessions demonstrating how structured state trial court data can inform litigation strategy from filing through trial preparation.
The sessions will take place at Booth 105. Each session runs 15 minutes. Walk-ups are welcome and no registration is required.
