Are Fewer Trials Weakening Lawyer Training? Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

What happens when fewer cases actually go to trial?

In today's clip from the See You In Court Podcast, Nick Moraitakis shares a concern shaped by decades in the courtroom. Many smaller cases are no longer being tried, and that shift may be limiting how younger lawyers gain real experience.

He breaks down two very different training models. One where lawyers gradually earn their way into the courtroom, and another where they are expected to handle cases early and often.

That difference matters. Trial skills are not theoretical. They are built through repetition, pressure, and real-world outcomes.

This clip offers a glimpse into a broader conversation about how the legal profession is evolving and what it could mean for clients, lawyers, and the civil justice system as a whole.

What is a case really worth? Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

In today's clip from the See You In Court Podcast, Nick Moraitakis shares a perspective shaped by decades in both trial law and mediation. Case value is not a fixed number. It lives between two moving targets: what the defense is willing to pay and what the plaintiff is willing to accept.

Nick explains how experienced attorneys read signals, test positions, and guide conversations to uncover where both sides are truly headed. It is a strategic process built on timing, insight, and understanding people as much as the law.

This short clip offers a glimpse into how cases are resolved behind the scenes. The full episode dives deeper into Nick’s career, his transition from defense to plaintiff work, and his evolution into a full-time mediator helping parties find resolution.

Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics: A Trial Lawyer’s Closing Argument Mar 12, 2026

Show notes

In today's short clip from the See You In Court podcast, veteran trial lawyer Nick Moraitakis shares a memorable moment from a courtroom closing argument.

The defense relied on statistics to argue that three murders at a large retailer were insignificant when measured against the store’s overall crime rate.

Nick challenged that logic with a simple reframing for the jury.

For the three people who were killed, the risk was not a fraction of a percent. It was 100%.

That moment led to a powerful quote from Mark Twain about the dangers of statistics when they are used to shape a narrative. The jurors understood immediately.

The case ultimately resulted in a seven-figure verdict.

This clip offers a glimpse into how trial lawyers communicate complex ideas to juries and why storytelling still matters in the courtroom.

Listen to the full conversation to hear more of Nick’s experiences in law, public service, and the civil justice system.

Nick Moraitakis: Losing an Election and Winning a Jury Trial Mar 05, 2026

Show notes

In this short clip from the See You In Court podcast, veteran trial lawyer Nick Moraitakis shares one of the more unusual moments from his career in public life.

Nick once ran for the Georgia State Legislature and famously lost an election to Ben Jones, known to many as “Cooter” from The Dukes of Hazzard.

The story is funny, but it leads to a deeper reflection about the emotional highs and lows that come with careers in law, politics, and public service.

As Nick puts it, you have not truly lived the highs and lows of life until you have lost an election and won a jury trial.

It is a moment that perfectly captures the perspective that comes from decades inside Georgia’s courtrooms and the civil justice system.
