Rumbling into Rebuttal – The Last Ask
2026 WTLA Hawaii Seminar – Ride the Wave
Featuring Srinivas Hanumadass
Srinivas Hanumadass will be presenting at the 2026 WTLA Hawaii Seminar – Ride the Wave taking place at the Fairmont Kea Lani in Maui, Hawaii on June 1, 2026.
His presentation, Rumbling into Rebuttal – The Last Ask, draws on the sweet science of boxing to reframe the art of rebuttal argument. Just as a fighter enters the final round exhausted but hungry for the knockout, a trial lawyer stepping into rebuttal has absorbed the defense's best shots and has one last opportunity to land the decisive blow. Srinivas explores how the most effective rebuttal is not merely a recitation of case facts, but a moment to reveal your why, to transform your case into a cause that resonates with the jury on a human level. He addresses the anatomy of the straw man argument and how to call it out and knock it down, the balance of pathos, logos, and ethos in closing, and the clarity of message that separates verdicts won from opportunities lost.
Srinivas is honored to bring this dynamic, fight-tested perspective to the WTLA Hawaii Seminar and share hard-won insights on how to leave everything in the ring when it matters most.
