Overview

In college and in law school, Mr. Flynn focused his studies on the art and science of researching facts, analyzing competing points of view, and vigorously advocating a particular viewpoint. At George Washington University Law School, Mr. Flynn was elected the president of the Student Trial Lawyers Association and represented the GWU Law School in national trial competitions sponsored by the Association of Trial Lawyers Association and the National Institute of Trial Advocacy.
