M.C. Carrington selected as a faculty member for International Association of Defense Counsel Trial Academy.

The IADC Trial Academy was initiated by the International Association of Defense Counsel in 1973 at the University of Colorado in Boulder. After 31 years at that location, the Trial Academy moved last year to the prestigious Stanford Law School in Stanford, California.

The purpose of this continuing legal education program is to enhance advocacy trial skills of less experienced lawyers. Major emphasis is placed on the learning-by-doing method of instruction. The Academy provides intensive, comprehensive and participatory education to young defense trial lawyers. Its faculty members are experienced, well-recognized trial lawyers with extensive trial experience. They are drawn from different geographic areas and diverse practices, styles and personalities. Faculties and directors rotate on an annual basis.

M.C. Carrington joined MehaffyWeber, P.C., upon graduation from Texas Tech University School of Law in 1982. He is an accomplished trial lawyer and has recently been inducted into the American College of Trial Attorneys. M.C. has tried to verdict approximately 40 cases in the last eight years with the vast number resulting in verdicts favoring his clients. The cases have included toxic tort litigation, products liability, premises liability, premises security, commercial litigation and employment discrimination. Many of these trials have been in the courts of Jefferson County, Texas. M.C. became a shareholder in 1988 and has served on the firm's Management and Compensation Committees.
