"This course was AMAZING. I learned so much and felt very comfortable experimenting with new techniques. The faculty was extremely helpful."
Lauren Martin, 2019 NITA Attendee"I really enjoyed the course, and would even take it again sometime. I found it to be rigorous and challenging, while maintaining a open, judgment free environment."
James Price, 2019 NITA Attendee"I loved this course. The interactive component was key to the amount of knowledge that I took away from the training."
Kirsten Donaldson, 2018 NITA Attendee"By far, the best conference/training I have done in my 10 years as an attorney...For the first time I felt genuine and productive criticism that I will forever use in my quest to help my immigrant community."
Maria Monclova, 2019 NITA Attendee"Such an intense program but I’m taking home real life skills and practice that will make me a far better trial attorney. If you want to change your professional life and increase your confidence, do a NITA program!"
Susan Joan, 2018 NITA Attendee"I enjoyed the course and regard it as valuable training that will make me a much better trial lawyer. I would recommend it to others (and indeed, already have)."
James Davy, 2018 NITA Attendee"The lessons learned from you at the NITA program undoubtedly provided me with the knowledge and structure to create a sound and persuasive argument, which ultimately gave me the upper hand in persuading the Judge to rule in my favor. I owe this success to your teachings."
John Connell, 2019 NITA Attendee"I had a great experience and appreciated to opportunity to practice several different trial skills....The more preparation people can do beforehand, the better the experience will be for them."
Jared Stringham, 2019 NITA Attendee“I found the [NITA US Tax Court] program highly instructive and the trials on day 6 demonstrated dramatically the improvements in the trial skills of all participants.”
John B. Magee, NITA Faculty
