4freeCLE: free continuing legal education: Keys to Litigation Management Success - Part 3

Sunday, October 14, 2012

Filmed at Trial.com's quarterly litigation conference, this program is comprised of the following presentations:

Department of Justice Enforcement Trends: What to Expect & How to Respond - Companies are facing increased investigation activity and criminal prosecution in areas ranging from health care fraud to public and private corruption, false claims act cases, and money laundering. Increased enforcement scrutiny and a much tighter operating environment intolerant of corporate wrongdoing present continuing problems for in-house counsel. Compliance policies and practices, as well as self-policing can take the sting out and lessen liability. Trial lawyer Jacqui Arango shares best practices for operating in this increasingly anti-business environment and handling federal agents and prosecutors bent on attacking your company.
Prelude To Trial: Mediation in the Modern Age - Mediation is often the last opportunity trial lawyers have to speak directly to the opposing party prior to trial. How is that time best used? What message should be conveyed? With fewer cases being tried to verdict, mediation has become more important in casting doubt upon your opponent's case while at the same time balancing the economic reality of trial with the potential for resolution on your terms.
