So You are Going to Trial? What to Expect with Justin Blitz Posted: March 4th, 2008 By: Zach Heller Category: CLE Programming, Lawyer Profiles, SHOWCASE CORNER, Videos
Trials can be a long and emotional process. Just ask any trial attorney who has been through it. The emotional rollercoaster can be an unsettling, and unnerving experience for most. And as Justin Blitz, an associate with the firm Shandel, Blitz, Blitz & Ashley, describes, the thrills and disappointments involved are much like those of your first childhood basketball game.
“Winning is the greatest high, and losing is the lowest low,” he says when asked about the emotions he feels during any trial he has ever been involved with. It can take a lot out of you and you had better be ready for the strain it puts on your mind and body from the very beginning. Justin is an experienced trial attorney in New York City, having tried over 30 cases in 6 years.
Recently, Justin Blitz was gracious enough to film a new CLE course with Lawline.com entitled, How to Try Your First Case. In the course he speaks about some key tips and procedures for any attorney who is going to trial for the first time, including how to prepare and what to expect. In the short clip below, Justin introduces us to the emotions involved in the day to day trial experience. Press play to watch, and look for Justin’s program on Lawline.com coming soon.
