Why you should attend

This program will provide litigators with the unique opportunity to hear directly from the judges how they view communications with the court and trial practice, as well as how lawyers can help (or sabotage) their cases.

What you will learn

Based on a series of hypotheticals, this year's panel of state and federal court judges will discuss:

• Appropriate civil litigation techniques, including how to build credibility with the court
• Effective pleadings
• Do's and don'ts of motion practice
• Effective written and oral communication with the Court
• Conducting discovery
• The trial: best practices from the judicial perspective
• Civility and ethics issues
