David Sugden – Teaching that Confidence Is a Byproduct of Competence

Host Dan Ambrose invites David Sugden of Call & Jensen for a discussion about the importance of constant practice and learning for trial lawyers. David highlights his video series, which provides training on skills like evidence and depositions. His mission with the series is to help lawyers become competent with the rules “so that when they go into court, they have that comfortability, which then the byproduct can be confidence.”

David and Dan share thoughts on the value of programs like Trial Lawyers University in refining trial skills. They also preview this month’s TLU Vegas, where experienced trial lawyers including David will share knowledge, collaborate, and guide participants in enhancing their courtroom performance.
