John Adair presents at American College of Trial Lawyers Trial Advocacy Program
On May 29-31, AGB partner John Adair will be in San Francisco at the 7th American College of Trial Lawyers (ACTL) Trial Advocacy Program, where he will be on the faculty and presenting on the art of opening statements at trial.
Consistent with its commitment to the rule of law, the justice system, and excellence, equity, and ethics in trial practice, the ACTL hosts tuition-free national Trial Advocacy Programs, open to any lawyer seeking to develop or improve their courtroom skills. These programs help nurture the next generation of talented trial lawyers and play an important role in strengthening our justice system. The goals of the Trial Advocacy Programs are to:
- Foster excellence in advocacy;
- Train the next generation of ethical trial lawyers; and
- Develop an increased trust, belief, and confidence in the civil justice system.
The program emphasizes “learning by watching” and “learning by doing” in a simulated courtroom setting. Participants benefit from faculty demonstrations, guided discussion, and constructive, positive faculty critique. The program culminates with each participant, working in teams of two, trying the case contained in the case file.
