Litigation attorney Daniel Small authored a Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly article highlighting the value of feedback from live trial observers. He recounts how insightful critiques from seasoned trial-watchers, in particular retired men in a Boston courthouse and a judge, clerk and court reporter in Galveston, Texas, enriched his legal practice. Mr. Small notes that these experiences taught him more than formal education, which illustrates the importance of seeking feedback "from wherever it comes."
