Yesterday, at the CHAMAN LAW FIRM, we had the privilege of attending a workshop on Litigation Skills as part of our internship program. The speaker, Barr. Egede Samuel, emphasized that litigation is an essential aspect of legal advocacy, contrary to the misconception held by many law students. We learned about the four key circles of litigation: 1. Drafting 2. Oral advocacy 3. Client relationship management 4. Relationship with the court As aspiring lawyers, we were advised to: - Clearly define our goals - Develop courage and self-esteem - Master the fundamentals of litigation, including: - Accurately recording client details - Identifying and noting relevant facts - Asking informed questions - Understanding client objectives - Being reliable, timely, and creative in our approach - Recognize that litigation is a skill honed through practice Additionally, we were reminded of the importance of maintaining good relationships with fellow legal professionals, being fair and sporting in our interactions, and building a strong rapport with the court.

Law students, Shuck off the handcuffs of law school and believe in yourself and the process. My friend Steven Neff talks much about the process, because he’s an accomplished trial and appellate attorney. The process has much to teach you. And, it will set you free of the trappings law school tries to place on you. Law school is a fraud. And it knows it. Law school is a petty narcissistic, easily wounded, and weak. Shuck it off. And be free. The process must be learned by hands on experiences. So, do your best to find an internship that gets you training and experience. If you only do one thing, follow my friend Steven Neff. #lawstudents

One of the most fun and useful things on the Summer Associate Hub platform is our PRACTICE IN P0.1NT ONE video series. (Proud moment when I realized that the "0.1" fits into the world POINT 😂) 🎤 We interview law firm attorneys about their practice in under 6 minutes (or "0.1 billable hours") -- giving law students the opportunity to quickly hear from attorneys in a quick and modern format, and get educated earlier in the recruiting process on the differences between practice areas. And giving the firms the opportunity to promote their practice and their people in a genuine way, adding a face and a conversation that a law student will remember. This episode was a great one with Laura Hernandez, Associate in the Internet Strategies group at Wilson Sonsini - Internet litigation is a fascinating area and one that many 1L students don't realize exists! Happy that Laura was able to join us and chat more about this. Our series includes other episodes from Wilson Sonsini as well as Gibson Dunn, Stroock, and others being published soon. Some of the highlights of our format: -- We feature *associates* as well as partners, to give students a well-rounded view of what law firm life is like, even from the beginning of their careers, with the realistic view that not every student will or wants to become a law firm partner. -- We cover what the attorney's average day is like, typical matter they would work on from beginning to end, why they chose that practice area, and other key questions. -- We designed this format to match the content we are used to consuming in this day and age -- short-form videos that are engaging, to the point, and authentic. Instead of a long written Q&A or 800-page practice area overview PDFs that students will never get around to reading. -- We post these on our growing social media accounts and send out in our newsletter to several hundred 1Ls at top national and regional schools around the country. If you are a law firm looking to get in front of 1Ls before the upcoming summer recruiting cycle, get in touch with us about opportunities to join our series.
