The 4th Dan Jewell Trial Institute, offered annually to attorneys seeking to gain trial experience, took place on July 12-13 at the University of Nebraska College of Law.
During the Institute, attorney participants are given the opportunity to try a case from beginning-to-end and gain invaluable experience to help them in their career.
Three judges and six trial mentors guided the process and gave feedback continually throughout the two days. The Honorable John Gerrard of Lincoln, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska; Justice Stephanie Stacy of Lincoln of the Nebraska Supreme Court; and the Honorable Teresa Luther of Grand Island, Retired District Court Judge of the 9th Judicial District were the presiding judges.
