Mr James Fergusson II is an American jurist who co-founded this country’s first Trial Advocacy Training, (TAT) in 1986. Mr Fergusson II is an exemplary jurist, who has consistently been voted as a ‘Super Lawyer’ by his peers. He has also been listed as one of the top 10 litigators in the U.S.
It thus gives us great pleasure to report on his visit to South Africa this year. Fergusson shared an insightful lunch with our Legal Education Centre team, during our ‘Information Exchange Sessions’. Saying that we were under the presence of greatness would be an understatement, yet notwithstanding all his critically acclaimed achievements, Mr James E. Fergusson remains humble.
He is featured in our BLA-LEC history discussion under the ‘History’ tab on our website, his contribution towards the introduction of Trial Advocacy training in South Africa will forever be engraved in our history and the history of the legal profession.
