Dining, courtroom etiquette focus of YLS event in Troy

The Young Lawyers Section of the State Bar of Michigan will present “From Table to Trial: Mastering Dining Etiquette and Courtroom Decorum” on Monday, November 17, beginning at 6 p.m. at Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse, 301 W Big Beaver Rd. in Troy.

Everyone has experienced those moments when they want to present themselves as professional and composed, but the best way to do so isn’t always clear. Sometimes people may not even realize the signals they’re sending.

This event is designed for law students and lawyers at all levels to sharpen their professional presence and gain practical insights — from the dining table to the courtroom.  

Attendees will learn best practices that enhance credibility, communication, and confidence in every setting.

Speaking during the dining experience at Fogo de Chão will be Tim Lessing, speaking chair for the SBM Special Standing Committee on Professionalism & Civility; and Danielle Kovachevich, CEO of the Detroit Academy of Etiquette
