“Understand your role and assume it will change,” quipped Brooke Pinkerton, Esq., noting that survival and success in a trial setting demands close attention to detail. A one-time legal assistant, currently a partner at Thompson, O’Donnell, Markham, Norton & Hannon, Brooke related well to a packed audience of Legal Assistants and Case Managers at the October 26th Trial Preparation BreakfastClub event.

Part of the Legal Assets sponsored series, Brooke’s talk focused on pre-trial, trial, and post-trial sequences. Her presentation surveyed themes relating to deadlines, objections, motions, jury instructions, client attendance, courtroom protocol and attire, and the ubiquitous paper trail. Informative and entertaining, Brooke’s message was wholly
on-point.
