At this half-day program, prominent litigators will share with you their time-tested strategies and practical advice on topics ranging from preparing your case to the closing argument. You will also get invaluable precedents, papers and checklists including a bibliography and summary of resources. Tremendously popular in past years, this is the "must not miss" program for newer litigators and advocates - updated for 2014 with new distinguished speakers and refreshed topics!
