Cassie J. Carpenter, an Associate Attorney at Tatlow, Gump, Faiella and Wheelan, LLC, attended the Missouri Association of Trial Attorney's Convention at Lake of the Ozarks on June 24-27, 2010. The purpose of the convention is to allow trial attorneys from across the state to meet in order to exchange ideas, learn about the most recent changes in the law and learn about new technology that could assist in the management, settlement and trial of their cases. Lawyers must constantly keep up-to-date on the most recent court decisions, legislation and court rules in order to be effective at obtaining a favorable result for their clients. Conventions such as these help attorneys manage the continuously changing law. Ms. Carpenter attended sessions in which she was able to learn new litigation strategies, deposition tactics, successful methods for question key witnesses, presentation of evidence and maintenance of professional and ethical behavior in difficult circumstances.
