Personal Injury Attorney Ben RubinowitzOur managing partner, New York Personal Injury Lawyer Ben Rubinowitz, is co-chairing with NYSTLA Past President Jeff Korek the 2019 NYSTLA Seminar “25 Trial Issues That Keep You Up In The Middle Of The Night”.

Held over two evenings (Monday June 17 and Monday June 24 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm) this seminar consists of an informal panel discussion with Top Trial Attorneys, Judges and Ethicists during which audience participation is highly encouraged.

The program is modeled after the 1962 Herman Glaser seminar in which Glaser gathered the “greats” of his era to impart their collective wisdom to aspiring trial lawyers.  Thirty years later, Harvey Weitz assembled a round table panel at NYSTLI that included the Hon. Ira Gammerman, Hon. Gabriel Krausman, Hon. Eve Preminger and attorneys Ivan Schneider, Richard Shandell and others . The panel borrowed from Moe Levine , Al Julien and James Dempsey while setting out to demonstrate how best to deal with difficult trial issues. Harvey’s NYSTLI seminars formed the basis of his book the “Compendium of the Art of Summation” which with Harvey’s permission has served as the inspiration for Ben and Jeff to put together this seminar.

New York Personal Injury Lawyer Ben RubinowitzOur managing partner, NYC personal injury attorney Ben Rubinowitz will be directing the “NITA Drills: A Witness Examination Boot Camp” from April 29 to May 1st 2019.  This program will take place at The National Institute for Trial Advocacy Education Center in Boulder, Colorado.

The Witness Examination Boot Camp is a rapid-fire, three-day program that focuses on direct and cross-examination of witnesses, including impeachment and expert witness variations, as well as methods for delivering killer openings and summations. NITA’s groundbreaking “learning by doing” method ensures you’ll master new skills you never even knew you were missing. You’ll learn not only how to formulate great questions on the spot through muscle memory, but also how to think quickly and effectively on your feet—and the investment you’ve made over just a few days’ time will pay off the instant you step back inside the courtroom or take your next deposition.

Taught twice a year by highly experienced  trial lawyers, members of the Inner Circle of Advocates, American Board of Trial Advocates and NITA’s Board of Trustees, the boot camp is limited to 24 participants to maximize the opportunity for every attendee to drill his or her skills. It usually books quickly so don’t wait too long to reserve your seat.
