Defending Police Officers and Mentoring the Next Generation of Trial Lawyers | David Corrigan (Civil Defense Lawyer)

"In almost every instance, the police officer doesn't go to work that day saying, I hope I get in a fight or shoot somebody today. I've never had that case. And so the human element is exactly what we're talking about. Who among us has a job when you go to work where you might end up in a fight, getting shot at, or having to shoot someone. These are people who are on the frontline dealing with every time they walk up to a car, something could happen."

David Corrigan joined us on RVA Trial Lawyers. We discuss his many years as a civil defense trial lawyer, his work defending police officers in civil rights cases, qualified immunity, and his commitment to mentoring the next generation of trial lawyers.

It was a privilege having David join us.

RVA Trial Lawyers: Virginia's Trial Lawyer Podcast

Trial lawyers do not become great overnight. It takes persistence, a relentless work ethic, a willingness to learn from mistakes, a burning passion for the craft, an authentic self, and the courage and vulnerability to enter the arena time and again.

Those who become great trial lawyers also become great people. Through their work, they grapple with the realities of the human condition and in the process cultivate character, principle, integrity, leadership, strength, compassion, and perseverance.

Based out of Richmond, RVA Trial Lawyers exists for Virginia’s trial lawyers. Through our podcast, we hope to learn from them, support them, connect them, inspire them, and preserve their work for future trial lawyers.
