Bucklin's seminar teaching methods are founded in his experience in explaining complicated subjects to juries. The result is fast paced, interesting instruction.

Leonard Bucklin is a member of the Million Dollar Advocate's Forum, a group which is limited to plaintiff's attorneys who have won million dollar verdicts and settlements. He is also a Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, a group which attempts to identify the top 500 trial lawyers in the United States.  Bucklin and his firm of Bucklin, Klemin and McBride, P.C., has also been placed in Best's Directory of Recommended Insurance Attorneys as a result of defense work for over 35 insurers.

Bucklin is an accomplished education seminar speaker who delivers his message in an entertaining manner.  In short, if he can get a jury verdict by explaining the ethics that went into a defective product, or that made a corporation proud for their stand on a labor issue --- he can get your attention, and keep it, while he explains concepts and give us the tools for our future decisions. 

en·thu·si·asm (µn-th›"z¶-²z"…m) n. 1. Great excitement for or interest in a subject or cause. 2. A source or cause of great excitement or interest.

During the course of his practice, Bucklin has been admitted to the bars of four states. He is enthusiastic about responding to the needs of each state or city he visits, and that enthusiasm shows when he stands up to teach!

Bucklin’s ethics consulting for lawyers, and legal compliance by corporations, has been a part of his legal practice for several years, and at the present time is the chosen focus of his work. He believes that all public corporations should have a combined an Ethics Officer.   By the end of his seminar or his keynote speech on that topic, you will have heard about hi timely post-Enron and Arthur Anderson idea --- adding specific ethics tools to the legal compliance rules in your materials your furnish employees to use.

Bucklin is knowledgeable. His legal practice for 40 years has been balanced between commercial and personal work, office practice and litigation, and plaintiff and defense work. He is the author of a number of legal publications. Bucklin has served on various workgroups and committees of legal organizations and business corporations. The longest service was 12 years as chairman of the Civil Rules Committees of the North Dakota State Bar, followed by 12 years on the Joint Procedure advisory committee to the North Dakota Supreme Court. The most unusual has been his work on the Board of Directors and the Ethics Committee of the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) (a Richmond, VA corporation). UNOS is the corporation that runs, as a federal contractor, the 50 state network for allocation and distribution of human organs for transplantation to the medical centers across the country. The ethical problems are sensitive and newsworthy.

So, if you are coming to his seminar, sit down, sit up, and enjoy some time that will improve your life!
