Listen to the inventors of trial science, as conference brings together plaintiff attorneys and litigation experts nationwide to explore how big data is changing the law

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JuryBall, the bestselling book and app that help trial attorneys improve trial outcomes though big data, announced the return of JuryBall Vegas, a four-day immersion into the data, psychology, and strategic decisions that influence outcomes before trial begins.

Built for plaintiff trial lawyers handling significant cases, every session is designed to help attendees better understand how jurors think, what drives damages, and where strategic advantage is created. JuryBall Vegas will be held November 1–5 at the Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas, bringing together nationally recognized trial lawyers, professors from top academic institutions across the country, jury consultants and litigation experts to examine how data is reshaping modern trial practice.

The four-day immersive conference is put on by Sean Claggett, John Campbell, and Alicia Campbell, co-authors of JuryBall: The Big Data Revolution Is Here. The book challenges the legal profession to rethink how trial decisions are made, replacing assumptions with evidence and testing conventional wisdom against real-world data. Through the JuryBall Vegas conference, the authors continue to advance trial advocacy through education, research and innovation.

“JuryBall is a proprietary tool we developed to better understand jurors, evaluate cases and make more informed decisions about how to prepare for trial,” said Sean Claggett, founding partner at Claggett & Sykes Trial Lawyers and co-author of JuryBall: The Big Data Revolution Is Here. “Some of the largest, record-breaking verdicts happening across the country have involved attorneys who have applied what they learned through JuryBall. The era of relying on gut instinct alone is over. We’re helping trial lawyers use data to make smarter decisions, achieve stronger outcomes and continue pushing the profession forward.”

“The conference was created to bring together some of the best minds in trial law to share the research and strategies that are helping shape the future of litigation,” said John Campbell, partner at Campbell Law and co-author of JuryBall: The Big Data Revolution Is Here. He continued, “We look forward to continuing to pull together bright minds across the country to further explore what trial science is and how it can best be implemented in the courtroom.”

Early bird registration is now open through August 31 with tickets starting at $1,350.

Brander Group helped the University of North Alabama acquire and transfer its own IPv4 address space, giving the university greater control, flexibility, and long-term network independence.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Brander Group Inc., a global leader in IPv4 address brokerage and network infrastructure solutions, announced its successful partnership with the University of North Alabama (UNA), enabling the institution to acquire dedicated IPv4 address space and secure direct ownership of its critical network assets.

As reliance on ISP-assigned addresses creates operational limitations for growing institutions, secondary IPv4 market transfers have become vital for maintaining long-term network independence, flexibility, and security. Brander Group worked directly with UNA’s leadership to guide the university through every phase of procuring and transferring dedicated IPv4 addresses.

“Last year, the University of North Alabama made the decision to purchase our own IP address space, allowing us to move beyond the limitations of relying on ISP-assigned addresses. We acquired IPv4 addresses through Brander Group, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.

From our very first conversation, the Brander Group team was professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and responsive. They guided us through every step of the process, ensured we fully understood our options and exactly what we were purchasing, offered very competitive pricing, and kept everything moving efficiently from start to finish. They also worked closely with us throughout the registration and transfer process, helping ensure a smooth and seamless transition.

Owning our own IP address space has given us greater control over our network, increased long-term flexibility and stability, and the confidence that comes from managing an important part of our infrastructure independently.

For any organization considering a similar move, we highly recommend Brander Group. Their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to customer service made what could have been a complex project straightforward and successful. We would not hesitate to work with them again.”

— Mr. Ethan G. Humphres (’02, ’19), CIO/Assistant Vice President, Information Technology Services at the University of North Alabama

The engagement highlights Brander Group’s ongoing focus on providing structured, efficient solutions that help higher education institutions and enterprise organizations navigate resource constraints, address scarcity, and execute complex transfers with clarity and speed. By prioritizing transaction accuracy, compliance, and transparent communication, Brander Group ensures clients establish full administrative control over their network footprint.

Since its inception in 2017, Brander Group has generated over $1 billion in revenue by streamlining access to scarce IP address resources and telecom infrastructure services worldwide.

Gomes, bringing the firm’s retirement guide to commuters, snowbirds, and listeners who’d rather absorb the material on a flight or a drive than a page.August 19 — Cross-Border Day Tracker launched as a standalone mobile app, taking the most-used tool from the free suite — a day-counter for the IRS Substantial Presence Test — and putting it in users’ pockets, with no sign-up required and direct links to the underlying IRS and CRA rules.

Next: A Hardcover Edition

A hardcover edition of Crossing the 49th Parallel is now in production, featuring new cover art in the firm’s “From the Desert to the Tundra” visual identity. A release date and purchase link will follow; in the meantime, the book remains available now in paperback, Kindle, and audiobook editions.
