Judge Robinson recognizes the importance of providing opportunities for junior lawyers to gain experience and training in courtroom skills. Accordingly, it is the policy of Judge Robinson that when junior lawyers are familiar with the matter before the Court—but are not experienced in courtroom presentation—they should be encouraged to attend and participate. In such circumstances, where it creates an opportunity for a junior lawyer to argue, Judge Robinson is amenable to permitting more than one lawyer to argue for a party.

Other opportunities for junior lawyers include (1) attending and participating in first day matters in chapter 11 cases and presenting some of the motions before the Court, and (2) presenting other uncontested matters. Regarding (2), Judge Robinson does not consider it a waste of judicial time for a junior lawyer to handle an uncontested matter in an efficient manner.
