Q&A

Ulmer Educating attorneys in the art of trial advocacy has been a primary goal of the Foundation of the American Board of Trial Advocates since its inception. The Masters in Trial shows how experienced trial lawyers conduct a trial – without war stories. All of the trial team counsel are well-known and highly-respected in their fields. The Mock Trial demonstration is presented before a presiding judge and a real jury, complete with witnesses, experts and courtroom visuals. The jury will render a verdict in the case, with jury deliberations broadcast into the seminar room. The Masters in Trial is a skills program. The skills you will see demonstrated are applicable to other civil cases. This is a program that will be of value to attorneys who are just beginning their trial practice, as well as the experienced attorney who appreciates observing new ideas and methods. Sponsored by the Civil Litigation Section, McMath Woods, P.A. and the Tort Law Section. Special thanks to Paul Nony, Center for Toxicology & Environmental Health, and Steve Quigley, Conestoga Rovers and Associates, for their expertise and assistance. Special thanks to The Data Company for providing courtroom technology and graphics for the Mock Trial. 13
