Christine Murphy, The Jaklitsch Law Group
“I’ve spent many years attending (and trying to get out of attending) conferences. This is the ONLY conference that I want to attend each and every session. When I leave the Society of Women Trial Lawyers conference, I feel like I’m a better lawyer, but also a better person.”
