Mike Invited to Address Civil Trial & Appellate Specialists Association
On the evening of Thursday, April 21, 2011, Mike addressed the Texas Association of Civil Trial and Appellate Specialists (TACTAS). Mike had presided over the trial of Koonce v. Brennan's et al. in January 2011. The case arose out of a fire at Brennan's Restaurant in Houston on the night that Hurricane Ike hit Houston, on the night of September 12-13, 2008.
Two of the jurors from the trial were present, as well as almost every attorney involved in the case. The idea of the presentation was to discuss the impact of the attorneys' trial strategies & presentations on the jury. What did the jury think about what they were shown? What did the attorneys think about what the jurors had to say? Because the case settled in mid-trial, the jurors had never delivered a verdict. Thus, all parties were eager to hear what they had to say.
Mike was introduced by Judge Jane Bland of Houston's First Court of Appeals. Thanks to Pam Howell for her hard work in helping organize the event. And, of course, thanks to all in attendance.
