Trial lawyer Brian Glass shares his framework for continuous professional improvement through intentional post-trial reflection and documentation. This approach has helped him learn from nearly 100 trials while avoiding repeated mistakes, and it can be adapted for any profession seeking strategic growth.
• Document basic case information including jurisdiction, judge, opposing counsel, and numeric outcomes
• Analyze what went right, what went wrong, and what surprised you
• Determine if surprises were due to inadequate preparation or truly unexpected events
• Identify specific learnings and tactics to try differently next time
• Maintain this documentation as a reference for similar future cases
• Share relevant past results with clients to provide objective guidance on case value
• Apply this framework to any professional context, not just law
