Become the Director of Your Client’s Story

The Gerry Spence Method invites the jury to feel and experience the actions as though they were there. There are no gimmicks or shortcuts. It all begins with YOU!

The Program at Thunderhead Ranch

The Programs are hosted at Gerry Spence’s Thunderhead Ranch in Dubois, Wyoming-the place, where it all began. It is there that you will learn this innovative and effective trial method from a small, select group of trial lawyers.

The goal is to transform your trial practice through a deeper understanding of human behavior and the importance of telling the universal stories. The program is facilitated by accomplished trial attorneys who volunteer their time because they strongly believe in the method and have seen first-hand how powerfully the method has helped their clients.

We believe in the power of small group work, where you get the attention you need. With the collective support and feedback of your small group, you can walk into the courtroom knowing you are ready to present a powerful, emotional story.

Testimonials

Gerry Spence invited me to his college in 1998 despite the fact that I was a first year lawyer. He has been my mentor throughout my entire legal career and I owe all of my success to his incredible philosophy, teachings and commitment to teaching me and other hungry lawyers on the art and science of trial.”

When you go to law school they teach you how to be a lawyer but they don't teach you how to care. An attorney who cares about their client is the most powerful attorney you will ever meet. It's amazing to know that the basic skill lives within us, we just have to get to it. Here's the best part of GSM. you will leave different. Not a different person, but a different lawyer.”
- Christian Morris
The magic and the transformation that takes place here that I find remarkable is that by becoming better human beings we become better lawyers; by digging deep into ourselves we're better able to sense what may be holding our clients back and we can get at the real story. it's been quite an experience and I'm going to really miss this place. It's a great group of people.”
- Thomas Burns
This is a place where you come to be a human. What's amazing aboout Gerry is that he's one of the most famous trial lawyers in America but he doesn't want people to copy his arguments or to copy how he talks or dresses. He wants people to come here so that he can share a very amazing gift, the gift of self - and when you learn who you are, you realize you have a fire within yourself.”
