The Forum is designed to be a central location for collaborative work. It functions as a permanent "war room" where teams of Bartlit Beck lawyers and client personnel develop theories, plan strategies, design demonstrative aids. The Forum's full-scale basketball court provides more than a whimsical backdrop. It is symbolic of the teamwork among lawyers and clients that produces results at trial, and also allows for an occasional free-throw contest or game of H-O-R-S-E. |
