Pretrial Practice 2013


Why you should attend

As fewer civil cases are tried, the staples of pretrial practice - pleadings, motions to dismiss, discovery, Daubert motions, summary judgment, and settlement - have replaced trials as the focus of litigation. Join our faculty of experienced plaintiffs’ and defense attorneys, and inside counsel and judges as they review what you need to know to succeed at this increasingly important stage of litigation.

What you will learn

  • How to plan the litigation
  • How to accurately investigate the facts and the law
  • How to maximize your use of pretrial motions to give your case an advantage
  • How to explore settlement strategies that will benefit your case and your clients

Who should attend

This program will benefit attorneys who are not yet experienced litigators familiar with the ins and outs of pretrial practice.

Special Note: In New York, newly admitted attorneys may receive CLE credit only for attendance at "transitional" programs during their first two years of admission to the Bar. Non-traditional course formats such as on-demand web programs or recorded items, are not acceptable for CLE credit. Experienced attorneys may choose to attend and receive CLE credit for either a transitional course or for one geared to experienced attorneys.  All product types, including on-demand web programs and recorded items, are approved for experienced attorneys.

Please note: The State Bar of Arizona does not approve or accredit CLE activities for the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education requirement.

If you have already received credit for attending some or the entire program, please be aware that state administrators do not permit you to accrue additional credit for repeat viewing even if an additional credit certificate is subsequently issued.
