Jinks trained 15 new lawyers in Utah WC law over a period of two days - 14 total hours of lecture and Q & A - at the Utah State Bar Offices in Salt Lake City. The training covered 31 different subjects and was designed to jump-start the 15 lawyers who attended into representing injured workers in Utah.
Presently there are an insufficient number of lawyers doing WC law cases and Jinks' two-day seminar was designed to increase the number of available lawyers who would handle injured worker claims. It was a great success.
This is the 7th time Jinks has shared his knowledge of Utah WC law with new lawyers over the past decade in similarly designed seminars. His seminars have tripled the size of the Applicants Bar which makes it now much easier for an injured workers to find a lawyer to help them with their case. Seven of his attendees over the past three years have been Defense Counsel. Jinks welcomes them as well since, as he said, "I don't mind them attending and learning what I have to share. I would rather deal with an educated Defense lawyer than a stupid one."
To date Jinks has formally trained 72 lawyers in Utah Workers Compensation Law and mentored over 100 during his career as an attorney.
