Nikki Cannezzaro presents closing arguments at civil jury trial demonstration CLE

Nikki Cannezzaro participated in a Continuing Legal Education Program jointly sponsored by the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association and the University of Missouri - Kansas City School of Law with several prominent attorneys from both the plaintiffs' and defense bars titled "A Civil Jury Trial Demonstration." The CLE consisted of the presentation to area lawyers and law students of an entire civil jury trial, from jury selection through closing arguments, involving a first party claim denied by an insurance company based upon an exclusion in the policy for arson. Each stage of the trial was followed by short discussions from the presenters. Ms. Cannezzaro was selected to present the closing arguments on behalf of the defendants. Following deliberations, Ms. Cannezzaro was identified by one of the jury members as the lawyer that was most impressive.
