How many of you have done any type of training such as Trial Lawyers University, Keenan Trial Institute, etc? Worth it? They can be pretty pricey.

Worth it. You learn a lot. I attend a lot of them. Not sure if Keenan is as relevant anymore. I attended only one of those. Yes, expensive, but an investment into you as an attorney and your skills. The sooner you can become a better attorney the bigger the verdicts and the bigger the paycheck.

In person and network til I drop like til midnight or later. Got to get your work done and work extra hours to get caught up. But you want to make the big bucks got to do more than the average bear.

Panish read like a million trial transcripts before Court TV existed. We are lucky to have Zoom, webinars, and Court TV and such. That's why he is hitting companies for a billion dollars.

I find it funny when attorneys want the big pay checks but want to do the bare minimum. Like I want 6 pack abs and not work out as well.

I did the AAJ Trial Essentials College. I liked it a lot. It's good for new lawyers or someone with a few trials under their belt who wants to polish their presentation up a bit. Definitely worth the money and great networking. By far the most fun CLE I've done.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
