My favourite part of any trial is now being discussed. Really enjoyed the briefing and now hearing closing arguments. #USTrialBootCamp

Wonderful start to the #USTrialBootCamp today. More than 200 UK barristers, advocates, and solicitors hearing a critique of opening statements at the moment—led by the always masterful @McDermottQC Great joint program from ABA Litigation Section and ACTL

What a terrific Judge’s Panel during the #USTrialBootCamp with excellent and probing questions from moderator @BarCouncilChair

#USTrialBootCamp what a wonderful program.. enjoyed it very much

It’s not about your brilliance in the court room it’s about what you did before. Preparation is key …🤔

Totally agree #badFacts need to be addressed in examination in chief.

The concept of preparing witnesses with dress rehearsal, however, is totally alien to practice in Scotland #USTrialBootCamp

Interesting afternoon so far watching the #USTrialBootCamp I always have a bit of self consiousness after hearing Judges list their pet peeves!

Thank you so much for all who organised and participated in this excellent event.

This is a really dynamic panel discussion on cross-examination with John Mathias and Dan Oudkerk QC (Essex Court Chambers), chaired by Nick Stewart QC. #USTrialBootCamp

I’m with Ritchie Berger. Effective cross-examination is king! #USTrialBootCamp
