Legalsized supports the American Bar Association

The American Bar Association has concluded it’s annual meetings in New York, NY and Legalsized is proud to have supported the festivities. The nearly week long conference included a wealth of CLE seminars, discussion forums and award ceremonies.   Many events were filled to capacity and the only way many ABA members can attend these valuable events is via webcast or DVD.

The Legalsized Inc. team was once again honored with the task of creating the video record.

Two of the programs in particular demand were:  How Judges Think: Rule of Law, or Rule of Man? and When in Rome: Cross-Cultural Issues in the Court.  Both of these programs are available online by searching the above website.

How Judges Think: Rule of Law, or Rule of Man? presented by the Judicial Division National Conference of Federal Trial Judges provided a window into the struggles judges must face everyday in court.  This time the judges were not alone on the bench.  An accomplished panel led discussion while attendees voiced their opinion with the support of mock trial technology provided by Trial Graphix.   And you thought our trial presentations were the only interactive part of the practice…

My favorite program was When in Rome: Cross-Cultural Issues in the Court presented by the ABA International Law Section.  I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy the Law and Order television series and in the program I learned each episode is based on a serious amount of truth.  The expert panel walked the attendees through multiple cases complicated by cultural differences and customs.  This program was so compelling that the program chair, Hon. Delissa A. Ridgway, has fielded multiple requests to repeat the event.  We look forward to helping again.
