Usually when I say a week felt like a year, it’s because it was a long one. But at the National Family Law Trial Institute, the opposite is true — so much learning, growth, and perspective are packed into a single week that it’s hard to believe it only lasts a few days.
I continue to be amazed by the dedication each student brings in pursuit of becoming the best advocate they can be. It’s an intense and demanding week, but one that is incredibly rewarding for everyone involved.
Teaching alongside such talented professionals and watching these future trial lawyers challenge themselves so fully is deeply inspiring. Opportunities like this are a reminder of how meaningful mentorship, preparation, and thoughtful advocacy are in shaping the future of family law.
