You have invested years in becoming an attorney and you invest months preparing a case. Invest one afternoon to strengthen your mind and achieve these goals:

· Think quickly and clearly without fumbling for notes
· Remember important information about your case and use it to win cases
· Effectively recall facts and figures from research and interview to argue cases

As attorneys we seldom leave home without our computers, Blackberries and calculators. They are convenient, affordable, and most of all, come with a lot of memory. Unfortunately, one of the most powerful memory tools we own is seldom plugged in and often fails us. Brain freeze? Memory lapse? Senior moments? Whatever you want to call it, thousands of attorneys have experienced it. The good news? You can do something about it.

Would you like to have more time, less stress, better concentration and no trouble remembering names and faces? If so, then this program is for you, but sign up TODAY, before you … forget.

The benefits of improved memory are endless!
· Save time in case preparation
· Make polished presentations without notes
· Become a better listener during mediation and in the courtroom
· Cross-examine with confidence - no more missed
opportunities because your memory failed you
· Remember names of jurors in trials and clients in other
professional settings
· Develop better concentration
· Reduce stress, worry less about forgetting to make a crucial point

Join nationally recognized memory training consultant Paul Mellor for an afternoon that will improve the way your mind retains facts. Learn techniques to improve your memory and learn how to apply these techniques to your everyday practice. Mellor’s objective is to show you how a trained memory can increase your efficiency and productivity in all aspects of law. He will shred the myth that memory cannot be enhanced and help you lay a foundation for total recall.

His popular seminars have been presented to numerous Bar associations throughout America, including, the Hawaii Bar, Atlanta Bar, Pennsylvania Bar Institute and the Nashville Bar, to name a few.
