Join us to learn the art of trying a False Claims Act case to a jury verdict. Be a part of the experience, watch experienced plaintiff and defense counsel make their opening statements, present and argue the evidence, all before a sitting federal judge and a jury. Then, watch how the jury evaluates the evidence and arguments of counsel, as the jury deliberations are live-streamed to the audience.

Reed Smith regulatory & investigations partner Kate Seikaly has been invited to moderate a panel of three federal district court judges, which takes place at the end of a two-day mock FCA trial. With her extensive experience representing clients in FCA matters, Kate will lead the panel in an engaging discussion regarding ethical issues that arise during litigation and in trial, and elicit perspectives views from the bench. This panel poses an opportunity to learn from federal district court judges on how to present effective evidence and arguments.

Attending this event is more than watching a trial—it's about connecting with thought leaders, gaining practical insights, and participating in dynamic discussions on the evolving enforcement landscape. You'll walk away with valuable perspectives on litigation, trial, and compliance strategies that will help you and benefit your clients. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness how theory meets practice in a courtroom setting designed to educate, challenge, and inspire.
