Richard Shekter: public speaker, lecturer, educator, commentator
“I’ve been a musician, composer, an actor, a public speaker and lecturer, and a stage director. Whether in the courtroom, the auditorium or on the stage, to me, it’s all about ‘storytelling’. Everyone is part of an audience – including juries, judges, conference attendees or students in a lecture hall.”
Richard
WHEN IT COMES TO SPEAKING, RICHARD IS A NATURAL.
Richard believes that everyone is inherently curious and eager to learn. He also recognizes that you make a bigger impact as a teacher when you not only enlighten, but excite people, about a subject.
Richard’s love of the law is infectious. Whether he’s teaching in a classroom, speaking in a lecture hall, coaching lawyers inside a firm, commenting on law in the media, or mentoring a young lawyer over lunch, Richard is committed to sharing his problem-solving strategies and his use of a storytelling approach in arguing cases.
“You have always been, and remain, one of the very best advocacy demonstrators that I have ever seen. Great job, as always.”

“He was incredible. Maybe one of the best I’ve heard. A truly talented litigator. I’m envious.”
