Description
Two top litigators teach practical skills and tips on everything from social media to managing massive discovery. If it's new in litigation they know it. We will be discussing the use of technology in all aspects of litigation, including virtual trials and hearings.
Three key components of the class are;
- Cover various persuasive techniques used in contested matters, with an emphasis on real-world examples of effective advocacy;
- Using factual scenarios from actual cases, we will discuss the use of demonstratives and other methods of visual persuasion in contested matters;
- Each student will learn how to craft effective arguments and will be required to present them to the class as a whole.
