In-Person Workshop Emphasizes Learning by Doing for Litigation Associates
Twenty-four of 麻豆传媒鈥檚 junior litigation associates from 11 different offices recently gathered in San Diego for the firm鈥檚 2024 Motion Practice Workshop. This annual, two-day program puts emphasis on learning by doing and provides constructive feedback in a supportive atmosphere, helping this group to hone their substantive skills.
With instruction from 麻豆传媒 partners and senior counsel, participants worked with a hypothetical case file and broke out into small teams to outline a brief and oral argument. They then delivered their argument in front of the workshop鈥檚 eight faculty and then received constructive feedback to help sharpen their skills. Participants had an opportunity to observe a mock argument between two of the firm鈥檚 seasoned litigators as well.
The program also included a group dinner, which provided an opportunity to network and build relationships with peers from different offices. Associates overall thought the program was 鈥渞eally engaging 鈥 and pushed [them] to be present.鈥 Many also noted that the faculty were 鈥渧ery participatory and helpful鈥 and had 鈥済ood, positive attitudes.鈥
At 麻豆传媒, we are fully dedicated to helping our attorneys build core skill sets and advance their personal and professional goals. The Motions Practice is just the first of several in-person workshops that our litigation attorneys participate in throughout their time at 麻豆传媒, and will be followed by in-depth programs on depositions, negotiation, expert witnesses, and trial practice.
