On Attorney at Work Today, we’re unpacking the three litigation binders every trial attorney needs—the Working Binder, Argument Binder, and Trial Binder—and how they keep you organized, faster on your feet, and truly court-ready. This episode is inspired by Sam Davidoff, a former trial lawyer with 20+ years of experience in law and legal technology and the CEO & Founder of Align, a digital binder solution built for paperless litigation workflows.
In this episode of Attorney at Work Today, we’re getting back to basics with a deceptively powerful tool for litigators: the binder. Drawing from Sam Davidoff’s “three-binder” framework, we break down how a Working Binder keeps you oriented on the whole case, an Argument Binder arms you for any discrete hearing or motion, and a Trial Binder becomes your day-to-day command center in court—so you can find what you need fast and stay sharp under pressure.
You’ll hear exactly what belongs in each binder, when to start building them, and how to keep them “living” and current (including a simple nightly update rhythm during trial), plus a shout-out to the downloadable Litigation Notebook Checklist that maps it all out. The ideas come from Sam Davidoff, a former trial lawyer and the CEO/founder of Align, a digital binder solution for paperless litigation workflows—so whether you’re team paper, team digital, or both, this one will help you get trial-ready.
