Andrew H. Friedman to Speak at The Rutter Group’s “Making Trials Less Trying” MCLE Program

October 4 – 6, 2023 – Helmer Friedman LLP is excited to announce that Andrew H. Friedman will be speaking at The Rutter Group’s upcoming trial advocacy program – “MAKING TRIALS LESS TRYING: A Step-by-Step Approach for Achieving Winning Verdicts.”

Mr. Friedman will be speaking on a panel with a fantastic lineup of speakers, including the Presiding Justice for the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division 8 – Justice Maria E. Stratton, Michael D. Stein of Tisdale & Nicholson, LLP, and theatre professional Rachel Stein.

The Rutter Group describes this program as follows: “While most civil actions settle, many do not. In those instances, an attorney must possess a litany of skills to successfully teach the case to 12 strangers who would rather be anywhere else! This comprehensive 4-hour “how to” program, presented by a Presiding Justice of the California Court of Appeal and experienced plaintiff and defense trial counsel, systematically analyzes each component of a civil jury trial and includes a mock direct and cross-examination demonstration. Specifically designed for novice and seasoned practitioners alike, the program offers innovative ways to convert jurors from passive listeners into engaged participants, presents strategies for portraying yourself as an objective teacher rather than a biased advocate, and highlights techniques for transforming critical jurors into your client’s champions in the deliberation room.”
