Program Details: 

Isn’t promoting justice and “fighting the good fight” why we all wanted to go to law school? Do you recall the inspirational anecdotes you creatively drafted in your Personal Statement as a part of your applications? Your 1L lectures may have piqued your interest in tort law when you studied Donoghue v Stevenson, but what does a career in personal injury look like? 

Join our panel of experienced personal injury lawyers within the first 10 years of their practice for an in-depth discussion on:

• A day in the life of a personal injury lawyer
• Promoting access to justice: contingency fee work
• Trauma Informed Lawyering: working with personal injury victims
• Caseload: MVAs, Occupier’s Liability, long term disability, product liability, and malpractice cases
• Reviewing medical records and working with experts
• Litigation work and navigating procedural issues: keeping the Rules of Civil Procedure on your office desk at all times (don’t sell your textbook just yet)
• Virtual litigation: building the client-lawyer relationship and the importance of collegiality in the adversarial world of insurance law
