In a recent appearance on the podcast i'll call my guy., Shipman partner Jim Bergenn joined host Rich Rochlin for the episode, "Making the Case: Truth, Strategy, and the Pursuit of Justice with Jim Bergenn," a conversation about what really happens inside a courtroom and why credibility can make or break a case. Drawing from more than four decades of experience handling high-stakes criminal, civil, and white collar litigation, Jim shares the lessons that have shaped his approach to justice, strategy, and persuasion, informed not only by his work in the courtroom but also by his experience teaching trial advocacy skills to a large number of Connecticut lawyers and law students throughout his career.

From cross-examinations to jury psychology, the discussion goes beyond legal theory and into the real decisions that influence verdicts. Whether you're a lawyer, a true crime fan, or someone fascinated by how cases are won and lost, this episode offers a rare look at the mindset behind successful trial advocacy.
