Gerry Spence is a living legend in the legal field, and one of the most important lawyers in US history.

He was selected to act as lead trial counsel for the State of Washington in a two-and-a-half-month jury trial against the tobacco industry which ended in a record settlement of $700 million. This is one of Paul Luvera's only publicly available videos.

"This DVD was of enormous value to me as a police expert. I am always looking for better ways to communicate with the jury, my client, and my colleagues. The presentation held my attention from beginning to end. And the most important thing was I came away better equipped to properly communicate and interact with others in my professional and personal life. Det. John J. Baeza, NYPD (ret.) NYPDTRUTH.COM"
