FRANK J. DEANGELIS: Good morning. Before we startted, Lan told me that she was concerned that she was going to look, she could look older than me. I told her, no problem, just sit next to me. The grey hair definitely adds to the age difference. When we're beginning, as far as the 90 day out, we're looking at our trial plan, really a story time line. How do we want to set the case of for the jury? You need to keep the jury interested. You want them ...

LAN HOANG: Good afternoon, everybody. We're going to start with the afternoon session of the New Jersey CLE Marathon. Before we get started, I just wanted to clarify the credit hours for attendance here. I said this morning that it was 6.5. It's actually 7.8 credits for the course today. So it's more.

RANDI W. SINGER: All right, everybody, we're going to get going again this afternoon. I'm supposed to remind you at the outset to please fill out your evaluations. Those of you in the room, you can do them on your iPad. Those of you on the web, there's functionality in the software that you can do that. And PLI and, actually, the co-chairs take this very seriously. And we redo this program every year. And we take into account the feedback we get ...

Recorded on: May. 20, 2013

RANDI W. SINGER: So while everybody is getting settled, we're going to get started here, because we don't have a lot of time. And we have a lot to cover here. We have a very esteemed panel here of practitioners. And we're going to go through a hypothetical. I think probably the easiest way, rather than me embarrassing everybody with lauding all of their accomplishments is, let's just very briefly let each of them introduce themselves, and just tell ...

JEREMY FEIGELSON: Great. OK. Good afternoon again, and welcome to the ethics session. This is going to be highly interactive.

On the iPad, you have the little button at the bottom that says Polling, and then you also have access to the presentation. We're going ...

PETER J. PIZZI: All right. Well, the next group of speakers have come in really quickly. We do cast changes almost as fast as Saturday Night Live. I'm not sure they'll be quite as funny. But there's a chance. There's a chance. We have a relatively larger group this time. And I just wanted to spend a little time introducing everybody and giving you some insight into what they do. So the person that put this panel together is a long-time expert in ...

Recorded on: May. 17, 2013

Peter is the managing partner of the New York office of the law firm of Connell ...

RICHARD L. KIRKPATRICK: Thank you, and good morning. My topic, again, is United States Trademark Searching and Clearance. Here is my icon.

This is the Practising Law Institute, and I have a practical problem for you. It's adapted ...

DAVID A. BRITTENHAM: All right we're going to get started-- it's 3 o'clock-- with our next panel, entitled Drafting and Leveraged Finance. While the topic Drafting and Contract Interpretation may not seem as exciting as some of the other things you've heard about thus far, I can assure you that I learned more from this panel about those topics, than I knew before, reading their presentation. And I hope you will, too. Let me introduce the panel to ...

LINDA TAM: Thank you so much. That was very informative. I learned a lot. So our next panel is dealing with-- it's very hard to deal with immigration, domestic violence and housing, and not touch a little bit on family law, because it's kind of within the realm of all of those issues that we've been talking about. So our next panelists, Khanh Nguyen and Hongvilay Thongsamouth will be talking about common family law issues that arise when immigrants ...
