The Masters Series 2026 will take place Thursday, February 12, 2026, from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM (ET) at Brooklyn Law School’s Forchelli Center.
This program brings together a select group of New York’s most accomplished trial lawyers—attorneys who, over decades, have consistently delivered exceptional verdicts in high-stakes litigation. Designed for experienced litigators, the seminar focuses on practical, courtroom-tested strategies that translate directly to real trials.
Throughout the day, faculty members will demonstrate how elite trial lawyers approach opening statements, closing arguments, jury selection, and the presentation of both favorable and challenging evidence. The program examines the decisions that shape outcomes, including how lawyers address problem areas that could otherwise undermine a case.
As Chair, Ben Rubinowitz will guide the program’s structure and discussion, drawing on his national reputation as a leading trial lawyer and educator. His leadership ensures the program remains grounded in disciplined advocacy, strategic clarity, and real-world trial execution.
Marijo C. Adimey joins the faculty bringing extensive experience in complex, high-exposure litigation. Her participation reflects the program’s emphasis on preparation, precision, and command of the record.
Every member of the Masters Series faculty has obtained multiple million-dollar verdicts. Trial demonstrations are central to the program, allowing participants to observe firsthand how experienced advocates persuade juries and manage difficult issues. A dedicated ethics component will address professional responsibility considerations that arise during trial.
