Litigation can be a daunting task for even the most senior of practitioners, with only a minority of attorneys considering themselves “trial lawyers.” Nonetheless, it is essential for all attorneys to have at least a basic understanding of the skills needed to effectively litigate a criminal or civil case, and mastering of these skills can be a lucrative addition to any firm’s roster.
This course, presented by Patrick A. Mullin, Esq., will provide real-world litigation tips, with examples from Mr. Mullin’s own thirty-eight years of practice before federal and state courts, for attorneys in any practice area who are interested in developing or honing their trial skills.
