Anyone meet a great lawyer when you were in Jury Duty, in law school or some other school setting, in a book signing setting or some other place?
I had seen Irving Younger along with Walter Mondale a some speech while I was at the University of Minnesota Law School but never got a chance to take one of his courses as he unfortunately based away before I could do so.
He has a lot of very useful videos still out there on courtroom advocacy. Not sure if you can still see them online.

One of my classmates seems to have became a great Immigration Lawyer in San Francisco but she always was incredibly charming and bright.
Then there was a lawyer in one of my Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoner's cases who was defending the employer (sort of) of the person who were assisting. He came from one of the large law firms in the Twin Cities and did have a brilliant legal brief. Our client got off but I felt very sorry for his many victims.
I met Mills Lane who used to play bridge with my parents in Reno, Nevada but he did not seem like a brilliant lawyer but was very effective and did well in the TV judge circuit as well as a referee for some of the professional boxing bouts like the one between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. The one with the chomped ear.
In the five Jury Duty Summons I have received, I always got bumped for some reason or another. So I never got to see the lawyer in action.
I was doing some research about a friend and located a lawyer who had won 29 cases in a row as of 2011. Not sure if this streak has been broken yet but I could see the fear of the lawyers who might have to go up against him in the article I read. This man defends doctors against medical malpractice among other things. Big time defense lawyer for medical insurance companies in other words.
I do not remember any of my other law school professors as being great lawyers. They were good law professors for the most part.
