Paul Slager on Boy Scouts Abuse Cases, Yale Murder Case, and Brain Injury Law

What does it take to represent families after murder, child sexual abuse, catastrophic injury, and life changing negligence? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Connecticut trial lawyer Paul Slager, partner at Slager Madry in Stamford, Connecticut. Paul shares the mindset behind taking only the most serious cases and why real justice is about more than money. They discuss the landmark Boy Scouts abuse case that led to a $12 million jury award, the civil case involving the murder of Yale graduate student Annie Le, traumatic brain injury litigation, youth concussion awareness, wrongful death, and how lawyers carry the emotional weight of representing people on the worst day of their lives. If you are interested in personal injury law, civil justice, brain injury advocacy, wrongful death litigation, or high stakes courtroom strategy, this conversation gives a rare look inside the work.
