All saturday mock deposition slots are filled, but you may still register and attend friday's workshop and serve as an alternate or observer for saturday's depositions.
This two-day workshop will teach you the skills needed to (1) face down a bullying senior plaintiffs’ attorney; (2) handle a lying deponent; (3) pull the information you need out of a reticent deponent; (4) ensure that what you discover in depositions is admissible in court; (5) use the latest in technology to build an air-tight case; (6) depose experts effectively; (7) handle sympathetic or minor deponents; and more!
The second day will be spent in four-person breakouts in which each new attorney will play the parts of deponent, defense attorney, plaintiffs’ attorney, and observer. At each stage of the depositions, senior coach-attorneys will critique performances and suggest approaches to use.
The event if fully virtual and all participants, coaches and speakers will join both days remotely. Plan to stay on after on Friday at 5:00 for a social hour with speakers and other participants.
* 8.5 credit hours have been requested and the registration fee is $300. New members will have their first year's membership fee waived. No membership bill sent until January 2022.
