Scope and Purpose
The American Board of Trial Advocates, an organization with more than 7,300 of the best trial lawyers in America, is dedicated to the preservation of the right to trial by jury guaranteed by the 7th Amendment. Educating lawyers in the art of trial advocacy is a primary goal of the Foundation of the American Board of Trial Advocates. The Masters in Trial shows how some of the most successful trial lawyers in the country conduct a trial - without war stories. All of the trial team counsel are ABOTA members and are well-known and highly respected in their fields.
The case involves a young man who suffered serious leg and foot injuries when he slipped on stairs while leaving a party at a friend's apartment. Safety engineers disagree about the design of the stairway. The plaintiff and his host disagree on critical facts related to alternative causes for the fall. Whether you are a novice or seasoned trial lawyer, plaintiff or defense counsel, this program will assist you in your next trial and trials thereafter.
This seminar is designed to teach by example. The skills you see demonstrated are applicable to virtually every other civil case. This is one seminar trial lawyers will be talking about. You don't want to miss it. Come see how the Masters do it.
