Winning Your Case with a Better Memory
6 CLE - Thursday, April 24; 9:00 A.M. - 4:30 P.M.
Attorneys seldom go anywhere without their computers or phones. They are convenient, affordable and most of all, come with a lot of memory. Unfortunately, one of the most powerful memory tools we own is seldom plugged in and often fails. Brain freeze? Memory lapse? Senior moments. Whatever you call it, thousands of attorneys have experienced it. The good news? You CAN do something about it!
The benefits of improved memory are endless:
Save time in court preparation
Make polished presentations to jurors and judges without notes
Become a better listener in the courtroom
Cross-examine with confidence
Remember names of jurors in trials and clients in other professional settings
Develop better concentration
Reduce stress, worry less about forgetting to make a crucial point
