The next wave of trial practice breaks here.
Two days of live demonstrations, small-group labs, and on-your-feet training in the AI reshaping plaintiff practice — steps from the sand at the Paséa Hotel & Spa, Huntington Beach.
This is what CLE should look like in the AI era.
The defense bar and its carriers already run AI across every file they touch — including yours. TLU has taught trial skills since 2015 the only way that works: lawyers still in the arena, teaching on their feet. Now we’re aiming that method at the machine. No futurism, no vendor keynotes disguised as education — you leave with working systems for records review, deposition prep, focus groups, and firm operations, plus the ethics guardrails to run them safely.
You’ve seen the Claude Cowork Masterclass put Claude to work on real casework — thirteen lawyers, laptops open, live files. This is that method, scaled to the whole plaintiff bar — and moved to the beach.
Two days. Twelve labs. One operating system for your firm.

Every ticket includes two lab seats — small rooms, laptops open, working on real (sanitized) case files with faculty who use these tools daily. You leave with the workflow built, not described.
Build Your Depo-Prep Copilot
Bring a transcript; leave with a reusable prep system — outline, exhibits, impeachment map.
The 30-Minute Medical Chronology
A full records set distilled into a verified timeline, treater map, and gap report.
Prompt Drafting for Trial Lawyers
You already ask precise questions under pressure. Aim that skill at the machine.
Cross-Examine the Machine
An AI summary with errors seeded inside. Find them. Impeach them. Build the habit of distrust.
Run an AI Focus Group, Live
Test liability themes and damages anchors against synthetic panels — then against each other.
Intake to Trial: Firm Ops on Autopilot
Intake triage, lien tracking, status letters — the unglamorous wins that fund the glamorous ones.
Taught on the frontier — not the sidelines.
Sessions and labs run on the frontier models themselves — live, on plaintiff casework — so you learn the actual tools, not screenshots of them.
The deep-casework engine behind TLU’s Claude Cowork Masterclass — agents, records, and every lab’s build files.
The tools every firm already touches — drafting, research, and the workflows opposing counsel is running today.
Real-time research at the edge — and a live look at where these models are headed next, before your adversaries get there.
PLATFORM MARKS IDENTIFY THE TOOLS TAUGHT — NOT SPONSORSHIP OR ENDORSEMENT.
Nothing on this stage is a slide.
Every session runs the tools live, on a real case file built for the conference. When a speaker says “this takes forty seconds,” you watch the forty seconds. The screens beside the stage show the machine working — and the faculty showing you exactly where they’d double-check it.
SIMULATED OUTPUT · SANITIZED TEACHING FILE · VERIFIED BY LICENSED COUNSEL
Lawyers still in the arena — and the builders behind the tools.
Anchored by the team behind TLU’s Claude Cowork Masterclass, joined by trial lawyers, judges, ethicists, and legal-AI founders drawn from TLU’s 111-lawyer bench.

Sponsors earn the stage — nothing buys the verdict.
Legal-AI companies don’t get a booth in a hallway. They get six minutes in the Demo Arena, live on our case file, in front of the entire plaintiff bar — and the room votes.

Before you object.
Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can run a deposition, you can run these tools. Labs assume zero technical background and a healthy skepticism — bring a laptop and the instincts you already have.
Is CLE credit available?
We're applying for 12 hours, including 2 ethics hours, in all mandatory-CLE states. Certificates issued on site; the final grid publishes with the program.
How is this different from the Claude Cowork Masterclass?
The Masterclass is 13 seats and one toolset, deep. The conference is the whole landscape — every category of tool, the ethics track, the Demo Arena, and the full TLU faculty — at conference scale, on the ocean.
What about client confidentiality in the labs?
Labs run exclusively on sanitized teaching files, and a dedicated ethics session covers deploying these tools on live matters without risking the file or the privilege.
Should my paralegal or ops director attend?
Emphatically yes — most AI wins land first in records, intake, and case management. The Trial Team tier exists exactly for this.
Catch this wave early.
