September 22-23, 2022
Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel
Portsmouth, NH
Skills You Can Use in and out of the Courtroom, plus
195 minutes of CLE!
The opportunities for trial nowadays seem few and far between. While the pandemic played a major role in reducing these opportunities, the opportunities for civil trials were lacking even before then. How can we train the next generation of trial attorneys or refresh our own skills in a time of few trials?
