Trial Lawyers College
I'm going, heading out to Wyoming. Last year I read Gerry Spence’s book, Win Your Case. I think every trial lawyer should own a copy of this book; it is full of amazing insights on human nature, life, and trial strategy. When I found there was a Trial Lawyers College that taught attorneys using the methods discussed in the book I was determined to go and learn more.
I've slowed down on blog posts a lot in the last month or two, and for the next month or so there will probably be none, but I'll be back to business as usual after that. I'm excited about the Trial Lawyers College and I have no doubt that it will be well worth the sacrifice of getting there and being away from the office for a short while.
Laura, the other defense lawyer in our office, attended the National Criminal Defense College (NCDC) in Macon, Georgia, a few weeks ago, and we also regularly attend South Carolina and National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers seminars. Attorneys are required to attend a certain number of CLE hours each year, but each year I exceed those hours, earn the maximum that will carry over to the next year, and then stop keeping track. No matter how much I think I know there is always more to learn and our time is best spent learning from the best and greatest in our field.
Laura will be holding down the fort while I am gone to TLC. Laura is ranked high among the best defense attorneys I know - if anyone needs anything in the next few weeks, please contact her and I know that you will be taken care of.
