Well Legal Team, we recorded this before the news broke that Erika settled, which is HUGE news and brings an anticlimatic ending to this 4 year-long legal battle . Last episode, we went through the claims that were going to the judge, and now we are tackling the claims that were going to the jury. Even though the trial won’t take place, we hope this episode still provides knowledge and understanding around why this $25 million lawsuit was sold, what claims against Erika were being pursued by the plaintiff, the key witnesses from each side, and what Erika’s defenses would have been.

What’s on the docket?

  • Proposed duration of the trial
  • Who are the key witnesses
  • Background on how expert witnesses are paid/handled
  • The claims going to the jury
  • The plaintiff's key evidence
  • How plaintiff must prove that the transfers to EJ Global were fraudulent
  • Breaking down avoidance of fraudulent transfers and constructive intent
  • How plaintiff must prove that using the embezzled client trust account funds and firm operational funds to pay for the personal expenses constitutes a wrongful disposition of Girardi Keese property
  • What Erika’s attorneys’ arguments will be
  • Account stated claims and what they entail
  • Why was the lawsuit even sold at all
  • What jury selection is like
  • What does the jury questionnaire look like for this case
  • Erika’s attorney’s complaints about not having proper information to submit on time
  • Erika’s attorney’s and plaintiff’s motions in limine
