If taking a case to trial is like running a marathon, then being a trial lawyer is like being an endurance athlete. Lawyers who prepare themselves physically and mentally are more likely to walk into court better prepared and better able to obtain justice for their clients.

Megan Hottman is a professional cyclist and trial lawyer who has represented over 120 cyclists in cases across the country. She is a coauthor on Bicycle Accidents, Crashes, and Collisions: Biomechanical, Engineering, and Legal Aspects, a frequent lecturer, and has been interviewed by the Colorado Trial Lawyer Association’s Trial Talk, the Denver Post, the Washington Times, Outside magazine, and many other publications and media. In this Q&A and interview, Hottman discusses ways to help improve your performance and thereby increase the value of your cases and their outcomes.

  • Why not making wellness a priority means you are probably leaving money on the table in trial

  • Six things you should do every morning when you are in trial
