Steve Jett, a partner in Taft's Cleveland office, has been named to the faculty of the Sixth Annual Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association/National Institue for Trial Advocacy (CMBA-NITA) Trial Advocacy Program.

The CMBA-NITA Trial Advocacy faculty is comprised of experienced trial lawyers who volunteer their time to receive training in the NITA teaching method and then participate with another member of the Faculty to observe "students" (less experienced practitioners) conduct direct and cross exams of witnesses, opening and closing arguments and jury selection exercises. The Faculty give focused critiques (NITA method) to each student after they perform their respective exercises.

This year's program will run from October 4 through October 8.
