Avoiding Trial Prep Pitfalls: From Substantive to Logistical, What You Should Be Thinking About and When

Content Partner: Celesq AttorneysEd Center

Price:	$200.00*

* Applicable Membership or Subscription discounts will be added in your shopping cart

Description: Transcript designations, trial briefs and witness testimony are top of mind for case teams when thinking about preparing for hearings or trial. However, there are other less obvious, yet no less critical, aspects of trial prep that must be addressed.

In this 60-minute webinar, practitioners will hear about the substantive and logistical considerations they should undertake to prepare properly and avoid simple pitfalls they may encounter as they move toward opening statements.

Bob has helped develop processes and people to meet the unpredictable and ever-changing demands of Aquipt’s litigation clients (98% of the Am Law 100).

Prior to starting Transpire, Peter spent over 10 years as a litigation attorney in Chicago, where he practiced intellectual property and commercial litigation, including trying two cases to verdict, and preparing countless more for trial. Over the course of his practice, and having been originally trained as a software developer before law school, Peter realized that the dearth of innovation in the trial support space (as contrasted to e-discovery) presented an irresistible opportunity to synthesize his two passions – technology and law.
