Fort Worth Truck Accident Lawyer Steve Laird Earns Master's in Trial Advocacy
FORT WORTH, Texas, May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fort Worth truck accident lawyer Steven C. Laird is now one of the rare attorneys to earn a Master of Laws Degree in Trial Advocacy from the Temple University Beasley School of Law, an exclusive degree that provides practicing lawyers with enhanced insights and skills for handling courtroom trials. He is one of only a handful of lawyers from Dallas-Fort Worth to earn the degree since the program began in 1993.
Mr. Laird is the founder of The Law Offices of Steven C. Laird, P.C., a leading law firm for accidents involving 18-wheelers and other heavy trucks. In addition to semi and tractor-trailer cases, Mr. Laird and his firm also have a long track record of successfully handling clients' claims involving serious personal injuries, vehicle wrecks of all types, construction accidents, product defects, crane accidents, oil and gas field injuries and complex business disputes.
The Temple University program is one of the first in the country and is consistently ranked for providing the nation's leading degree in advanced trial advocacy. The one-year course focuses on the core capabilities that are essential for true trial lawyers, including developing trial themes and theories, persuasive storytelling, extemporaneous speaking, and effectively using technology in the courtroom. Only approximately 20 lawyers and judges nationwide are admitted to the program each year.
"As someone who represents injury victims and their families, it is my professional duty to be absolutely prepared when handling their cases," says Mr. Laird. "That is why I'm constantly looking for ways to improve as a lawyer, and the program at Temple certainly has provided me with many new tools for battling a company on a client's behalf."
Mr. Laird's recent litigation victories include winning nearly $12 million in recoveries for two individual clients last year in separate truck accident cases.
