Read the answers to last week's question: Are associates at your firm allowed to present arguments in court? Featured answer: Posted by Former associate: "I'm a plaintiffs lawyer, so we have more leeway here. Yes, we send associates to argue, after they have adequate training, and have watched several arguments. My defense friends tell me the reason they don't is that their clients insist on 'the lawyer they hired' going to court for everything. It's really a problem for some defense firms, because they'll have junior partner litigators who can't get a piece of a trial or motion despite being there for 10 years. Makes it a lot harder for those folks to attract new clients as they come up." |
