Counsel will please keep in mind the need to provide arguments and courtroom

24

experience to the next generation of practitioners. It is the way one generation will teach the

25

next to try cases and to maintain our district’s reputation for excellence in trial practice. This

26

order requests by NOON ON APRIL 14, 2016, that each law firm representing a party herein

27

submit a five page plan explaining how it intends, in this case, to provide opportunities for

28

junior attorneys (who have graduated from law school within the past six years) to argue

1

motions, take depositions, and examine witnesses at trial. The five page plans should please

2

name specific associates and name the specific opportunities the law firms have in mind for

3

them. The submissions shall please also state whether it would be useful to require client

4

representatives to attend the upcoming case management conference where this subject will be

5

discussed. Plaintiffs shall promptly serve this order on all defendants.
