“Connections with other people can make life so much easier and so much more fun.”

That’s what happens when you get to know the person behind the professional bio.

As part of Arnold & Porter’s Behind the Bio series, Intellectual Property & Technology partner Ryan Nishimoto joined David Kouba, counsel and Well-Being Committee co-chair, for a fireside chat exploring the experiences and personal interests that have shaped his journey.

From their shared connection to North Carolina to career lessons, defining moments, and the importance of “allowing yourself to have needs around your co-workers” and build good relationships, the conversation offered colleagues an opportunity to connect beyond their day-to-day work.

Behind the Bio continues to remind us that the people behind our firm bring unique perspectives, experiences, and stories that make our community stronger.

The best way to learn how to try a case is to step into the courtroom.

Each year, Arnold & Porter’s Trial School gives associates the opportunity to develop their courtroom skills through an immersive mock trial experience. This year, with guidance from firm partners, participants delivered opening and closing statements, examined witnesses, argued before a judge, and presented their case to a jury.

It was a challenging, hands-on experience designed to prepare the next generation of trial lawyers for the moments that matter, long before they face them in a real courtroom.
