As the founder of a respected, growing personal injury firm, Joel is always looking for the best ways to prepare trial attorneys for success. He knows he can rely on AAJ Education to provide the highest quality training for his associates and help them build critical trial advocacy skills. Over the last 10 years, he has sent dozens of associates to AAJ's deposition colleges. “I put such significance on AAJ’s educational opportunities that during the interview process for all new attorneys, I advise them that attendance at the Depositions College is mandatory. And that’s just a start!”  

Reserve Your Seat at the Next Deposition College

The Depositions College changed the way I practice law. My depositions are more efficient and effective. In my very first deposition after I attended the Depositions College, I tried the ‘Miller Mousetrap,’ and it worked! The tools I learned benefit me every day.
