ABA 2024 Professional Success Summit

We’re excited to announce that GAWL is co-sponsoring the ABA Litigation Section 2024 Professional Success Summit, November 7–8 at the Loews Atlanta in Midtown. This CLE and networking event is dedicated to empowering litigators from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds and offers attendees the tools necessary to achieve success in their careers to create a distinguishable and marketable identity among today's litigators. Whether you are a young lawyer looking to gain practical trial skills, or a senior lawyer looking to empower yourself or the future of the profession, our lineup of programs will offer valuable opportunities to grow in your practice, and network with in-house counsel, judges, and litigators. 

Program highlights include:

In-House “Pitch” Networking Session—New this year!

This program provides law firm attorneys with the opportunity to meet one-on-one with in-house counsel to practice their pitch skills. In-house attorneys include AMB Sports and Entertainment, Chick-fil-A, Coca-Cola, AT&T, and more. Apply when registering. Spaces are limited.

Masters of Trial

Our panel of accomplished trial lawyers and a jury consultant will discuss best practices for voir dire, complexities and considerations for jury deliberations, strategy during a trial (including how to prepare for opening statements, directs, crosses, themes for trial, and closing), and verdict trends.

View from the Top: Pathway to the Bench and Tips from the Bench

Hear from several distinguished and tenured local state and federal judges about their path to the bench, their expectations of lawyers who appear before them, “dos” and “don’ts” concerning oral and written advocacy, best practices, and trends they see in their courtrooms.
