On June 9, I spoke to about 25 members of the International Network of Boutique and Independent Law Firms (INBLF) at it annual Litigation Fly-In near O’Hare International Airport. Jack Henning of Dillingham & Murphy LLP (San Francisco), and Fly-In participants, grilled me for almost an hour on Strategic Use and Effective Preparation of Amicus Briefs In Appellate Litigation. Their questions were excellent.
The Fly-In also featured other diverse litigation topics, ranging from pretrial motions to cross-border litigation to negotiation of employer-employee settlements to family law. Equally important, the Fly-In was a great opportunity to interact with U.S. and Canadian litigators who, like I, enjoy practicing law in small (or solo) boutique law firms. There was plenty of time to mingle, including at two great dinners.
