Real-World Skills from the Nation's Top Trial Attorneys

The two-part seminar—an all-day virtual workshop followed by a live practicum at UC Irvine—is designed for family law attorneys with limited trial experience to gain practical courtroom tools in a hands-on setting.

Managing Partner Marshall W. Waller, a Certified Family Law Specialist and Fellow of the AAML, was invited to present three of the 24 sessions:

• Cross-Examination of Lay Witnesses
  
• The Order of Proof and Witnesses
  
  
• Audio Visuals in Court

"If the next generation of Feinberg & Waller attorneys doesn't surpass me, I haven't done my job," said Waller. "It's our professional responsibility to help young lawyers grow—and that ultimately strengthens the entire legal system."

The firm's General Counsel, Mary Ellen Waller, has long championed Feinberg & Waller's internal emphasis on mentorship, continuous learning, and professional development—investments that extend to attorneys and support staff alike.

"I left the practicum excited to refine my closing arguments," said associate attorney Ryan Waller, who called the seminar "an opportunity to bridge theory and practice."

"Getting hands-on trial experience in a supportive setting was a game-changer," added Jennifer Weiss, the firm's newest associate.
