LEADERSHIP and PASSION in DISCOVERY and TRIAL: BE ALL YOU CAN BE!

"When you get a verdict, you have till midnight to either celebrate or to sulk," observes John Romano. With 51 years of trial experience, John reflects on his journey from military JAG prosecutor with 125 trials under his belt to becoming one of America's most prolific trial advocacy teachers.
