We were excited to sit down with Chris Turney, one of the country’s most respected and influential litigators, during a live event in April 2026 to talk about witness preparation. In this podcast, Chris shares practical insights on getting witnesses ready for depositions and trial, including what they can control, how to approach the process with confidence, and why taking the time to prepare thoughtfully can make all the difference. Chris also served as chair of DRI’s Litigation Skills Committee from 2022 to 2024 and led the Social Inflation Task Force. We think you’ll find this conversation both informative and immediately useful as you think about how strong witness preparation can shape the outcome of a case.

Join Ericka and Cassie for a fun and informative interview with this year's Chair and Vice Chair of the Women in the Law Committee - Jennifer Nutter and Stephanie Holcombe. Jennifer and Stephanie discuss the committee's plans for the rest of the year, their DRI journeys, and how their DRI networks support their professional and personal lives. Hear about an important committee initiative they are implementing this year - "Give to Gain" - and how giving time and resources back to yourself can help you become a better lawyer, more present family member, and well-rounded person in all facets of your life. There are so many good nuggets of information in this episode - including bringing "the spa" to your workplace (what could be better than that?!). You won't want to miss this engaging conversation with two of the committee's best examples of the positive things that come from working hard, giving back, and having fun along the way 🙂 
 
Stephanie also talks about being named a "2026 TerraLex Trailblazing Woman" -  an award which honors the exceptional contributions of women leaders from across the global network who drive innovation, strengthen their organizations, and make a meaningful impact within the legal profession and beyond. She references another interview she recently did on the TerraLex Insights Podcast which can be found here: https://youtu.be/eJgAOCRg_W8

This week, Ryan Hathcock of Chartwell Law and Steve Armstrong of Armstrong and Peake PLLC are joined by Steve Tipton of Flahive, Ogden & Latson to discuss the air ambulance billing controversy, and how the Airline Deregulation Act from the 1970s affects workers' compensation billing for air ambulance providers.   Steve Tipton has been defending employers and insurers for many years on these claims.  This is a rare situation where employers’ and plaintiffs’ interests may align.

He discusses the arc of these claims with recent Federal litigation. Air ambulance providers argue that workers' compensation fee schedules do not apply and that they can charge their market rates. Employers and insurers argue that workers' compensation laws should apply and that they should be able to charge their reasonable and customary rate, and that air ambulance fees should be reigned in.
