CLE & Speaking
Practical programs designed to help lawyers prevent mistakes, manage cases more deliberately, and recognize injury issues when they appear outside a personal-injury practice.
Professional-development programs.
Each topic can be developed as a reusable one-hour CLE with learning objectives, a presentation deck, written paper, speaker notes, and a one-page takeaway.
The Rule of Three
A practical framework for litigation management, persuasion, workflow, and follow-through—beginning with initiate, respond, advance.
Managing Client Expectations
Scope, realistic outcomes, communication cadence, difficult conversations, delay, money, and the three recurring questions: where are we, what happens next, and what should the client expect before the next update?
Maximizing Mediation
Timing, mediator selection, client preparation, advocacy, negotiation strategy, mediator style, subject-matter fit, and post-mediation follow-through.
Knowing When to Associate Counsel
Recognizing when staffing, funding, experts, subject-matter experience, or expected trial demands justify bringing in additional counsel—and how to evaluate that counsel with the client's interests first.
Programs for lawyers who do not primarily handle personal-injury matters.
The PI Claim Hidden Inside a Family-Law File
Spotting injury claims, settlements, minors' interests, liens, and related issues that appear during domestic practice.
Five UM/UIM Traps for Non-PI Lawyers
A practical introduction to coverage issues and preservation problems that can affect an automobile-injury claim.
The First 72 Hours After a Commercial-Vehicle Collision
Preservation, investigation, electronic evidence, vehicles, witnesses, insurance, and early expert decisions.
When Probate Is Also a Wrongful-Death Case
Issue spotting where estates, beneficiaries, survival claims, authority, and wrongful-death litigation intersect.
The Third-Party Claim in a Workers' Comp File
Recognizing potential claims against parties other than the employer and coordinating overlapping rights and obligations.
Preserve It or Lose It
Evidence steps before vehicles, video, electronic data, physical conditions, or witness recollection disappear.
PI Deadlines Every General Practitioner Should Spot
A framework for identifying limitations, notice requirements, preservation needs, and urgent referral moments. Jurisdiction-specific law must be verified for each program.
Ethical Referrals & Co-Counsel Relationships
Mississippi and Alabama referral structures, documentation, client choice, fee division, advertising, and professional responsibilities—ideally co-presented with independent ethics counsel or a bar representative.
Custom Local-Bar Program
A 20–60 minute issue-spotting presentation tailored to the audience's practice areas, followed by a practical checklist attendees can keep.
For CLE program directors
Programs can be adapted for bar associations, law schools, plaintiff or defense groups, local bars, solo/small-firm sections, and national CLE providers.
