Located in MG+M The Law Firm’s New Orleans office, our National Trial Center (NTC) is a state-of-the-art, fully functioning courtroom designed to help you and MG+M prepare for trial and bolster your defense. The NTC provides an intimate and confidential setting for trial teams to:
- Finalize trial preparation
- Conduct mock trials, moot courts, mock depositions and focus groups
- Develop and prepare corporate representatives, witnesses and experts
The courtroom and adjoining spaces are equipped with AV equipment that mirrors courtroom technology, including microphones and overhead speakers, large TV screens, remote viewing capabilities, and an AV table where AV support would sit during trial. Clients using the center also have access to AV support from MG+M’s skilled trial technology team.
Additionally, MG+M leverages the NTC to train the next generation of trial attorneys to better serve your business through our Trial Academy, a 19-month trial advocacy training program. Building upon our reputation as a national litigation powerhouse and skilled trial firm that achieves optimal results for our clients, the trial advocacy skills seminars and workshops we conduct help us meet rising client demands for first-chair trial attorneys and further leverage the extraordinary skills and experience of our current group of first chairs toward adding to their ranks. The Trial Academy offers advanced, hands-on opportunities for training, peer collaboration, practical mentorship and feedback from members of our incredibly accomplished National Trial Team, who serve as faculty. The program curriculum is thoughtfully designed to ensure MG+M attorneys possess the requisite skills to serve business needs effectively, underscoring MG+M’s ongoing commitment to provide elite trial capabilities and achieve optimal outcomes for our clients.
