End

COURSE DETAILS
Join us to hear important practice tips, highlighting governing law necessary to preserve the record throughout a jury trial, from the pre-trial conference, to voir dire of jurors, trial objections, trial motions, and post-trial motions.
The panelists, who are renowned appellate and trial attorneys, will discuss how to ensure a clean and clear record, and successful trial, by proper and timely motions and objections.
Participants will learn how embedded appellate counsel, on both sides, significantly enhances the trial team’s effectiveness by, inter alia, drafting persuasive written motions and briefs for the trial court, drafting jury instructions, and advising the trial team on trial objections and motions.
The panelists will also discuss appellate counsel’s role, and effectiveness, during mediation and other ADR methods.
Before the program begins, IN-PERSON attendees will have an opportunity to network with fellow attendees and the speakers. Refreshments will be provided.
