Tarras Defense founder David Tarras was recently featured on The Litigator’s Path podcast for a conversation about federal trial practice, artificial intelligence, and what it takes to defend a complex criminal case under extraordinary pressure.
In the episode, Tarras discusses his experience trying a 9-week federal fraud case as solo trial counsel against a government prosecution team that included three federal prosecutors, agents, and support staff. During trial, Tarras used AI as a litigation support tool to help process large volumes of overnight Jencks material, organize witness inconsistencies, draft responsive motions, and prepare demonstratives while continuing to handle every strategic and courtroom decision himself.
