This program offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from experienced members of the judiciary. Judges will share their perspectives on professional expectations that extend beyond a technical understanding of the law. Topics may include courtroom decorum, effective advocacy, civility, preparation, credibility, respect for the court’s time, and common pitfalls practitioners encounter.
This program is intended for attorneys and legal professionals at all stages of their careers, including investigators, paralegals, victim advocates, and legal support staff. Regardless of practice area, participants will gain valuable insights into meeting judicial expectations and strengthening their professional impact.
