New Trial Track Certificate Program

The Personal Injury Boot Camp offers 13 webinars that guide participants through every facet of a personal injury case, from start to finish. Part One, Basic Training, begins with intake and client sign-up, and progresses through essential early steps such as documents and evidence gathering, drafting demand packages, and navigating insurance adjusters. It continues with guidance on filing suit, discovery, depositions, mediation, and trial preparation. Part Two, Advanced Training, takes participants beyond the basics to tackle critical skills for career growth, including protecting the record, running a law firm, direct and cross-examination of experts, motion practice, and understanding your purpose and defining success as a trial lawyer. This structured progression equips participants with the tactical strategies, tools, and essential skills needed to elevate their legal practice and navigate the complexities of personal injury litigation.
