Experience for Newer Attorneys

Judge Chang encourages attorneys and their clients to provide substantive speaking opportunities to less experienced attorneys during any of the Court's proceedings, including motion and status hearings, settlement conferences, claim-construction hearings, pretrial conferences, evidentiary hearings, sentencings, and trials. To that end, Judge Chang allows more than one attorney per side to speak during any proceeding. So lead attorneys may not only confer with the newer attorney to suggest additional argument or examination questions, they also may jump-in as reasonably necessary to deliver additional argument or even to conduct additional witness examination.
