The Federal Bar Association, Eastern District of Michigan Chapter, is teaming up with the American College of Trial Lawyers to retry the infamous Rosenberg spy case.  “Anatomy of a Trial: An In Depth Examination of Best Trial Practices” will take place on Friday, October 28, from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Levin U.S. District Courthouse in Detroit.

Included will be:

• Full day of Anatomy of a Trial program with distinguished litigator and trial judge speakers

• Lunch

• Panel discussion with judges on what they want from trial lawyers
