Don't Miss This - Success in Trial Requires Training!
Saturday, March 25, 2023 | All Day Event - 8 hrs MCLE
Every other year, ABTL hosts an all-day trial skills seminar providing valuable information and techniques
for trial lawyers of all levels.
Junior level attorneys from San Diego’s most respected law firms will conduct a full trial in 6 separate phases that include voir dire, opening statements, 3 witness examinations, and closing arguments. After each phase, a panel consisting of a sitting judge and 3-4 more senior seasoned trial attorneys who are considered among the best trial lawyers in San Diego will provide instruction, feedback, and tips to each participant. There will be one panel in the morning and another in the afternoon. The Honorable Linda Lopez from the Southern District of California and The Honorable John S. Meyer from the San Diego Superior Court have agreed to participate as the presiding judges and provide instructive feedback and constructive criticism.

Lunch will be provided and an optional additional hour of CLE will be available at lunch. The Lunch CLE will feature a panel of renowned jury consultants who will discuss their craft in general, and the jury selection and presentation issues raised by the fact pattern.

We have ONLY ONE presenter slot left (2-6 years of litigation experience - actual trial experience is not necessary). If you would like to present, contact Frank Johnson at FrankJ@JohnsonFistel.com.
“The structure of the program was superb, the commentary of the panel of experts created a tremendous learning environment, and the participants did a wonderful job. ABTL should be proud. This program reflected the very best in the organization.”
— Judge Joel R. Wohlfeil

“I consider ABTL’s Trial Skills Seminar to be one of the very best trial advocacy trainings available to San Diego trial lawyers. In a single day, we get to observe an entire trial with commentary by esteemed, sitting judges and some of San Diego’s pre-eminent practitioners.”
— John Gomez
