About the “25 Trial Issues” Seminar
The seminar will cover 25+ trial issues that keep you up in the middle of the night. The two-night seminar includes lectures by seven trial attorneys, an ethics attorney and the Honorable Douglas E. McKeon. This impressive panel will discuss those items that trial attorneys face during a trial that requires fast and strategic thinking.
The experienced group of attorneys, including Jeff Korek, will discuss key issues, including:
- How to deal with a sleeping juror during trial
- When to introduce money amounts you are seeking
- Should you use a particular lead-off witness (i.e., expert, lay witness,
damages witness, wife, husband, etc.)? - How to deal with a difficult judge or one that appears to have taken sides
- Some of the most common problems with contingency fees:
o How to handle substitutions
o Fee divisions
o Lawyers’ liens, etc.
The seminar will also include a Q&A and a panel discussion to facilitate discussion of how to effectively handle the most difficult problems that come up during the trial.
