Fred Lane's trial techniques semester will begin Sept. 9The fall schedule of classes in the nine-month ISBA Trial Technique Institute, created by past president Fred Lane, will begin Tuesday, Sept. 9, in the Chicago Regional Office. Prospective students may attend the first session at no charge. The weekly 90-minute sessions begin at 5:15 p.m. each Tuesday. The two-semester curriculum consists of 54 hours of MCLE credit. Attendance also counts toward admission to the Federal Trial Bar in the Northern District. Participants learn the finer points of trial practice, enhancing courtroom presentation styles for both plaintiff and defense litigation. Each class is videotaped so students can review progress as the course ensues, or make up by appointment for missing sessions. Co-directors are Fred Lane, who is also a past president of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, and Scott D. Lane, a member of the Tort Law Section Council. Guest faculty members who conduct occasional sessions are trial attorneys Philip H. Corboy, Robert Clifford, Kevin T. Martin, Joseph A. Power, Pamela L. Gellen and Andrew Kopon Jr., and Appellate Justices Warren D. Wolfson and Michael J. Gallagher. For registration details, call (312) 726-8775, access http://www.isba.org/trial. The fees are $875 for ISBA members and $925 for non-members.
