YLS SIDE BAR SERIES- FEB. 2026
The Young Lawyers Section recently hosted“ A Deep Dive into Closing Statements” as part of its Side Bar Series at the Palm Beach County Courthouse. The panel featured Judge James Nutt, Judge Santo DiGangi, Adriana Lopez, Esq., and Jeffrey Martz, Esq., who shared practical guidance on crafting persuasive closing arguments. Attendees explored strategies for structuring closings, summarizing complex evidence clearly, and presenting a compelling narrative that resonates with judges and juries. The discussion also addressed common pitfalls to avoid, adapting arguments to different types of cases, and balancing logic and emotion in trial presentations. The session provided an interactive forum for young lawyers to ask questions, hear real-world examples, and gain actionable insights to elevate their trial practice while connecting with experienced practitioners in the 15th Judicial Circuit. # YLS
