Using Legal Tech to Organize Trial Strategy | Bourbon of Proof vs. Tad Thomas
2026/08/26
This time on Bourbon of Proof, the guys are live from Louisville with trial lawyer, former AAJ President, and fellow bourbon fanatic Tad Thomas. Bob, Mauro and Tad dive into how AI is revolutionizing trial prep and exposing hidden evidence, but why technology will never replace a lawyer standing in front of a jury. Then, in classic BOP fashion, the conversation somehow veers into Matthew McConaughey's deodorant habits. Come for the bourbon, stay for the shenanigans. Welcome back to BOP!
