Theodore I. Koskoff Trial Advocacy Fellowship Program
About:
One of the greatest trial lawyers of his generation, Theodore I. Koskoff was renowned for his eloquence, brilliant trial tactics, and supreme mastery of persuasion. Although he was involved in some of the highest-profile cases of his day, he preferred to represent ordinary individuals struggling against an unjust establishment. Building on Ted’s legacy, Koskoff continues as one of the leading trial law firms in the country.
Theodore I. Koskoff (TIK) Trial Advocacy Fellows work on cases involving wrongful death, serious tort matters, equal rights, individual liberty, and access to justice. Fellows are also given the opportunity to work on legal projects of their choice. The focus of the Fellowship is on learning the art of trial advocacy, with close mentorship from experienced trial lawyers. Fellows must be willing to participate in the presentation of evidence at trial.
