This trial workshop is designed for lawyers of all levels of experience but with an emphasis on our younger lawyers. We have had many experienced lawyers take advantage of the program who come away re-energized and excited about the practice of law again. We have had many younger lawyers come through the program and who leave truly excited about getting into the courtroom and trying cases! So whether you are an experienced lawyer who needs a tune-up, or a younger lawyer just getting started, please join us for this wonderful opportunity to work together on being better people and better trial lawyers. Together we cover the fundamentals of a jury trial. It is a wonderful opportunity to practice your trial skills in a safe environment and to learn how to tell your client’s story powerfully.
