PLG attorney Avery Brown recently completed the Indiana Trial Advocacy Skills College (a/k/a "Trial Camp"), an annual intensive trial advocacy program, and we're so glad she did.

Over four long days, Avery worked through a simulated jury trial from start to finish, from jury selection all the way to closing argument, with additional exercises and lectures along the way (including one on opening statements from long-time Trial Camp instructor Tony Paganelli). It's the kind of hands-on training that accelerates a young lawyer's growth in ways that classroom learning simply can't.

Avery gave it everything she had and came back a better lawyer for it. We couldn't be prouder.
