Myrtle Beach Lawyer Returns from AAJ Ultimate Case Workshop
I just got back (well a few weeks ago), from AAJ’s Ultimate Case Workshop in Charlotte, NC. Wow, what a great experience. I can’t talk about specifics, but there were a few things I got the okay to share and I can share some of my general impressions from the workshop.
After some lectures from some of the top people in the country. Eric Oliver author of Facts Don’t Speak for Themselves, Howard Nations, Paul Skoptur, Phil Miller, Robert Bailey, plus a host of others, we were broken up into groups. My group had 3 other cases in it. We all had premises liability cases.
The rest of the weekend was spent reviewing the cases, helping each other with the cases and focus groups on the cases. Each case got two focus groups. Altogether we sat through 8 focus groups on similar (or at least moderately similar) cases. Plus lots of great advice and pushing and pulling on the cases. Great, great experience.
There were a number of people that were there for their third or fourth time. I will go next year with a different case. Oh, and in addition to the instructors all of the lawyers there were very talented, very nice and I got a lot from talking to them as well.
