July 1: Researching Experts and Judges

Judges and Experts are two of the key players in any litigation. A Judge has wide discretion in all facets of a case, and it is important to know their likes and dislikes. Just as critical is to investigate the Experts (including your own) involved in a case. This seminar looks at the various types of online resources that are available to investigate Judges and Experts, as well as tips and strategies on how that information might be utilized. This seminar will address how to use online resources to learn more about those individuals who hear your cases. Even if you are not the one who conducts the research, just knowing what resources are available may help you better prepare the presentation of your cases.

September 25: Investigative Strategies in Complex Abuse and Trafficking Cases

Description:
In high-stakes, emotionally charged cases involving sexual abuse and trafficking, the investigative strategy you choose can determine the trajectory of your litigation. This session delves into the critical decisions attorneys must make when selecting investigative support—evaluating when to rely on in-house personnel versus when to engage external professionals. Attendees will gain insights into balancing discretion, cost, and effectiveness while maintaining sensitivity to trauma-informed approaches. The program will also highlight how early investigative efforts can clarify liability, corroborate survivor accounts, and inform case valuation. Tailored for attorneys handling complex, sensitive litigation, this CLE equips you with practical tools to build a strong case from the outset.
