Description: Preparing for trial is a daunting task, especially for solo practitioners who do not have the resources available to them that other attorneys enjoy. Join us for this new and informative class as our expert presenter Claude E. Ducloux discusses common issues solo attorneys encounter when preparing for trial. The following are among the topics Claude will address:
Preparing the non-trial-lawyer for a trial before the court.
Understanding the business/ethics side of litigation, and ethics of fee-setting.
Understanding WHY you’re going to court.
Developing a trial theme.
Defining elements of case or defense, and evidence required for each.
Preparing witnesses ahead of time.
Simple yet effective presentation techniques.
Scoping out your courtroom/court staff ahead of time.
Scheduling how to present your evidence.
Understanding standard objections.
Ethical rules about evidence, offers of testimony and the duty to correct false testimony.
Drafting your judgment early, and other necessities.
Courtroom choreography – where you’ll sit or set up, and the room.
Keeping track of exhibits and rulings during trial.
Handling your client throughout the process – reasonable expectations.
While this class is intended for solo practitioners, other civil litigators may find it of interest.
