Sutherland Asbill & Brennan has opened a 4,370-square-foot mock courtroom, packed with the latest technology, as a training tool for the firm's associates. Partner John Chandler says trial skills remain crucial in an era in which fewer cases go to court. "The only way you can settle a case is by being prepared to try it. If you're not prepared to try it, you can't be prepared to settle it," he says. The room's flexibility means it also can be used for arbitrations, video-conferencing and events.

Sutherland Asbill & Brennan’s transactional lawyers are as happy about the firm’s new mock courtroom as its litigators. Until now the litigators have had to use the firm’s conference rooms to prepare for trials. The new courtroom frees them up for the dealmakers.
The firm’s managing partner, Mark D. Wasserman, said that at a time when young lawyers do not appear in court often, a mock courtroom allows them to practice arguments and try cases in realistic settings.
