This CLE presentation is primarily focused on preparation for beginning attorneys who don’t have mentors or other senior attorneys to help them. The techniques explained will help the new attorney deal with any type of case that may walk in. These cases can range from special civil cases to temporary restraining orders and even relatively high stakes civil cases. The goal here is to help the new attorney become more flexible in their approach to cases and perhaps take on cases that one may otherwise reject if appropriate.

Implementing a reusable trial strategy can instill confidence and provide positive results for the client. Understand that your role in the courtroom is to present as clear and concise version of your clients story to the Judge. Simplify the complicated, easily absorb surprises and be cognizant of the Judges time and Court resources. These are the keys to success in your first trial.
