ABOTA is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Seventh Amendment, which guarantees the right to civil jury trials, defending the independence of the judiciary, and upholding the rule of law.

Ms. Fair focuses her practice on intellectual property litigation, frequently managing jury selection, examining and cross-examining fact and expert witnesses, and handling opening statement and closing argument. She also regularly prepares briefings and handles oral arguments for pre-trial, discovery, and post-trial motions.

This year alone, Ms. Fair has participated as local counsel in eight trials in the Eastern District of Texas, including two trials in recent months that returned a combined $524 million in damages against global technology giant Samsung for patent infringement.
