Mike Sams Discusses Trial Strategy, Law Firm Transitions and Professional Growth on MCLE ThisWeek Podcast
Mike Sams, Litigation Practice Area Co-Leader at Bowditch & Dewey, recently joined host Bruce Richard on the MCLE ThisWeek podcast to discuss the art of courtroom objections, law firm transitions and the role of experiential learning in developing effective trial lawyers.
In the conversation, Mike shares insights from his firm’s recent transition to Bowditch & Dewey, offering candid advice on law firm mergers, stability, and choosing the right professional “fit.” The discussion then shifts to trial advocacy and the art of courtroom objections, including why knowing when not to object can be just as important as knowing how. Finally, Mike reflects on experiential learning, professional development, and the lasting value of involvement in continuing legal education.
Listen to the podcast and learn:
- Why choosing the right professional “fit” matters more than chasing greener grass
- How expanded resources and stability strengthen both lawyers and clients
- Why objections require judgment — not just knowledge of the rules
- When restraint in the courtroom is more powerful than constant objection
- How experiential learning builds real courtroom confidence and much more
