Welcome aboard, Rachel!

I am happy to announce that Rachel Brill has agreed to blog at TrialPrep. Rachel is a Charter Member of PRACDL and has served on the Board for more years than I can recall right now. More important, Rachel is an accomplished trial lawyer, and will be able to share her excellent ideas with all of us. Knowing how federal trials work out only too often, I'm sure Rachel will place a lot of focus on the need to create a good record for appellate review (she also happens to be an excellent appellate lawyer, and in charge --on behalf of NACDL-- of assisting the rest of us mortals in preparing for oral argument before the First Circuit).  Rachel chairs PRACDL's CLE Committee and is also a member of the Amicus Committee and our Lawyer's Assistance Task Force.
