“I dream of a time when the people will retake their airways and use them to achieve a voice to rediscover democracy, and to see the divine potential of man.” — Gerry Spence

The work has always been about more than the courtroom. It’s about voice, truth, connection, and the courage to stand for something bigger than ourselves.

Join us this October for On the Road — Carlsbad, California, where lawyers from across the country will step onto their feet and into the work.

“They do not teach you anything like this in law school.”

Jake Burgess, a first-year attorney from Fort Wayne, Indiana, reflects on discovering something deeper through the work—moving beyond facts and motions and into questions of feeling, connection, and justice.

“Here we have a mission and it’s to help human beings.”

Watch Jake’s story. Share the video. And if you’ve been thinking about stepping into the work yourself, applications are open now for our upcoming On the Road program in Carlsbad, California this October.

One of the most important parts of the work is learning how to truly listen.

During GSM Faculty Training in Las Vegas, there were moments of deep focus, honesty, connection—and just as importantly, joy. You can see it in the smiles, in the attention being given to one another, and in the willingness to fully be present in the room.

Because real connection begins with listening.

There is only one program for trial attorneys looking to better themselves within every facet of their life. There is only one Thunderhead Ranch.

From the work… into the courtroom.

GSM alumnus Evan Oshan recently secured a $30,000,000 verdict on behalf of a family
seeking justice after the tragic death of a teenager in Seattle.

A case rooted in loss, accountability, and the courage to stand for what matters — Evan carried the work into the courtroom, advocating for a story that needed to be heard.

This is what it means to fight for people when it matters most.

This is the work in practice.

There is only one program for trial attorneys looking to better themselves within every facet of their life. There is only one Thunderhead Ranch.

GSM Faculty Spotlight: Daniel Rodriguez

From working in the fields alongside his migrant farm-worker family to becoming one of the nation’s most respected trial lawyers, Daniel Rodriguez’s story is built on resilience, hard work, and truth.

This summer, Daniel will return to Thunderhead Ranch as part of the Gerry Spence Method faculty—bringing decades of courtroom experience and a deep understanding of what it means to truly connect with a jury.

“My experience at the Ranch was one of great pain and from that pain, grew great joy. The Ranch changed the way I now live my life.”

We are proud to have Daniel as part of the work.

Gerry Spence always stressed the importance of growth in everything you do. At GSM, we continue to live to that benchmark. Consequently, the work is continuous; on our selves, our program, and the ranch. Contstantly improving on who we are and what we have.

Seeing the changing environment all around us and having a vision for the long-term future of Thunderhead Ranch, we just installed three 1,500 gallon water tanks at the big barn. Within a changing climate, this will ensure we always have a very precious resource on hand, for those on the ranch. When they are giving their all, in their pursuit of personal and professional development, they need to be supported in every possible way.

As we move forward, building for the future, we will continue to invest in Thunderhead Ranch through its modernization and infrastructure upgrades, ensuring that the finest trial skills program out there, continues to have the finest facilities.

During GSM Faculty Training, instructors stand on their feet surrounded by peers who are committed to helping each other grow—through honesty, accountability, and truth.

That’s how the work gets stronger.

And that’s how better teachers, better storytellers, and better trial lawyers are made.

05/04/2026

One of the things that makes the work so powerful is the people who carry it forward.

After this weekend’s GSM Faculty Training, we’re reminded how much care, preparation, and heart our faculty pours into every program. These are trial lawyers who have first done the work themselves—and now dedicate their time to helping others step into it.

In this video, Jermice reflects on her experience with the faculty during our Nashville On the Road program earlier this year.

We’re excited to welcome both returning and new faces to Thunderhead Ranch this summer—and to On the Road in Carlsbad, California this October.

The work doesn’t begin when the program starts.

At GSM, faculty training is a rigorous process built on preparation, vulnerability, connection, and a commitment to the work itself. Every instructor at Thunderhead Ranch has first walked through the program as a student—and only the best of the best are invited to teach it forward.

No medical bills.
No lost wages.
No expert witness.

A single packet of Neosporin.

The defense offered $250,000.
The jury returned $20,000,000.

GSM alumnus Sharif Gray took a case most would have undervalued—and told a story the jury
could feel. After the verdict, jurors said some wanted to award even more.

The difference between what a case “looks like” on paper and what it’s truly worth often comes
down to one thing:

The story.
