Tales from the Courtroom: Mentorship Through Storytelling
Before hybrid work and remote courtrooms, new lawyers would gather around seasoned litigators in courthouse hallways, lawyers’ lounges, robing rooms, and dining rooms to listen to stories of litigation trials and triumphs. These informal yet vital learning moments about law and legal life have been lost in the largely remote world we have embraced in the name of efficiency and client service. But they don’t have to be! We can have the best of both worlds.
Join us for Tales from the Courtroom to take advantage of this opportunity to learn valuable lessons from the experiences of today’s litigation leaders on how they overcome the challenges of litigating today. You'll hear candid perspectives from expert civil and criminal litigators, and gain insight into how their approaches can help you in your career. Perhaps most importantly, you’ll get the comfort that comes from knowing you are not alone in your challenges and that they can be overcome.
