A Discrimination Trial Tale: Jury Instructions, Closing Arguments, and More Lessons From the Trenches

August 22, 2022

In this podcast, Justin Grose, an attorney in Ogletree Deakins’ Oklahoma City office, sits down with Dallas shareholders Adam Dougherty and Sean Urich to share key takeaways from his recent jury trial victory. Justin secured a complete defense verdict on behalf of his client in a race and reverse gender discrimination case that involved allegations of sexual harassment and the full array of procedural considerations unique to employment litigation. The discussion takes listeners through the nuances of pre-trial litigation practice preparation, including preparing key witnesses, and offers insight into how to use that preparation to build an effective courtroom strategy and then implement that strategy at trial.
