Anatomy for Lawyers – Systems of the Body

When you walk into a courtroom, a hearing room, a deposition, or even a client meeting, you are called upon to explain complex issues to people who find them unfamiliar at best. In order to explain - clearly and effectively - you must first understand. When it comes to understanding the workings of the human body from the perspective of a successful trial lawyer, you will not find a better guide than Sam Hodge.

Sam's Systems of the Body course takes you on a visual journey through the myriad of pathways, structures and connections that make the body do what it does. He will teach you medical terms and then give you the plain English language you need to explain the pathology of any abnormalities and their possible causes or arguable defenses.

Every system - • Skeletal • Nervous • lntegumentary • Muscular • Circulatory • Respiratory • Gastrointestinal • Urinary • Endocrine • Reproductive - might be subject to trauma, neglect, or malpractice. Every patient, and everyone they hold responsible, could become a client. You might rely upon your experts to lend their credibility to medical matters, but you must know what your theory is before you get that far. Systems of the Body will be your foundation for having that knowledge.

A highlight of the program is Sam's exploration of Traumatic Brain Injuries. TBls have become a "signature injury" of military service and a well-documented concern for those involved in contact sports or activities. Sam offers a concentrated look at the nervous system, focusing on the brain and spine and how they work together and what happens when either sustains an injury.

Your ability to evaluate cases and to prosecute or defend them will be immeasurably enhanced in one dynamic, entertaining and information-packed day. Discover why bar associations, law firms, insurance companies and government agencies consistently call on Sam Hodge to diffuse the inherent mystery of medical cases.
