New Jersey Association for Justice

Jay speaks at the NJAJ Boardwalk Seminar

Managing Partner Jay Stefani

Levinson and Stefani Managing Partner Jay Stefani was invited to speak at last month’s New Jersey Association for Justice Boardwalk Seminar, one of the country’s largest legal seminars for trial attorneys.

During the seminar, Stefani spoke about issues related to discovery. His presentation included ways in which attorneys can utilize surveillance cameras to improve their odds of obtaining successful verdicts, as well as interpreting the effects of social media on prospective cases. He also spoke on issues related to unique damages in child injury cases and how to account for overlooked details during the discovery period.

Stefani has handled numerous cases stemming from personal injury matters over the past 12 years. The majority have required extensive discovery, including the recent $6.25 million settlement for the wrongful death of a father of five young children.

The 2017 Boardwalk Seminar welcomed more than 1,000 lawyers from around the country and featured 32 seminars over three days—a unique format designed to allow attorneys to move from seminar to seminar, hearing different topics as desired and thereby creating a seminar tailored to their specific needs.

In 2016, Jay was elected Parliamentarian for the American Association for Justice’s Sole Practitioner & Small Firm Section, serving a one-year term for 2016-2017. He is also a member of the AAJ’s Trucking Litigation Group, Motor Vehicle Collision, Highway and Premises Liability Section, and the Nursing Home Litigation Group. He also works with the Trucking Litigation Group’s Side Underride Guard Task Force (2015-present), advocating for improved trucking safety in cities across the country, most notably in Chicago.

Rewind: Ken speaks at the 2015 Meadowlands Seminar

Levinson and Stefani founding partner Ken Levinson recently traveled to the Garden State to be an invited faculty member in the New Jersey Association for Justice 2015 Meadowlands Seminar, providing insight into two specific areas: child injury cases and the benefits of conducting focus groups.

The first session, titled “Maximizing Damages in Child Injury Cases,” concentrated on liability and trial strategies and three categories of injuries: brains, bones and burns. Levinson touched on the process of dealing with traumatic injuries by consulting with appropriate physicians and conducting extensive interviews with family members, among other things.

Levinson also led a session titled “Learn from Legends,” giving advice and explaining the benefits of using focus groups to better understand potential jurors. Levinson talked about the “blind spots” that lawyers frequently overlook, and how the use of a focus group can minimize dangers and maximize chances of winning the case by employing already-tested strategies.

Other topics during the three-day event included discussions regarding criminal law, tort law, proving standard of care and others.

The Meadowlands program featured 19 seminars, where speakers covered a broad range of legal areas as requested by current and former attendees. More than 600 people have attended since the seminar’s inception.

The NJAJ is headquartered in Trenton, New Jersey, a statewide association of over 2,500 members in private practice and public service, paralegals, law clerks, law students and law school graduates.

Levinson’s next speaking engagement takes place this Thursday at the Florida Association for Justice in St. Augustine, FL. He will lead the “Hell on the Highways: Motorcycles, Trucks and Roads” seminar, teaching fellow trial lawyers how to represent their clients more effectively.
