Contentious Trusts Association ("ConTrA")’s Post

It was great to be back at The Ned & Ned's Club spending time with Taylor Rose's partners and department heads at our annual conference. Cross referrals between lawyers and teams continue to be a focus for us, as it of course is for all professional services firms. Who here has: 1. Referred a case or client to another lawyer or team; AND 2. Proactively found out whether the client was successfully brought on board; AND 3. Knows what the outcome of the case was?

In their Oklahoma Bar Association Journal article, Justin Lollman and Andrew J. ("A.J.") Hofland offer a guide for trial lawyers to avoid common preservation errors and to create a strong trial record. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gkn5FWHu

If you are an attorney in the New Orleans area and you need CLE credit, consider registering for the upcoming Third Annual State Court Summary Judgment Practice CLE at noon on September 24 at the New Orleans Bar Association's office. I know what you're thinking: how can a CLE topic be any more riveting, right? Well, if the topic isn't enticing enough to get you there, perhaps my presence on the panel is. But, if I am actually the reason why you DON'T want to register for this CLE (which I can understand), then at the very least, you should still stop by to get the latest insight on all-things-summary-judgment from the four brilliant lawyers sitting on this panel with me (who are much more likeable than me). Either way, you can register by following the link below. I hope to see you there! #CLE #LouisianaLaw #CivilProcedure #SummaryJudgment #NOBA #NewOrleansBarAssociation https://lnkd.in/gJaQPSri
