We are thrilled to announce that one of the nation’s foremost trial and jury consultants, Richard Gabriel, President of Decision Analysis, will serve as our keynote speaker.

Mr. Gabriel has consulted on nearly 2,000 trials nationwide—including high-profile cases involving A$AP Rocky, O.J. Simpson, Casey Anthony, and Enron—and has been instrumental in cases that reached the U.S. Supreme Court. A leading voice on jury behavior and trial strategy, he is the author of Acquittal: An Insider Reveals the Stories and Strategies Behind Today’s Most Infamous Verdicts and a frequent commentator for CNN and other major outlets.
