July 24: The Art of Cross-Examination: Effective Techniques & Strategies

When done well, cross-examination can expose inconsistencies, weaken opposing testimony, and reinforce your argument. Done poorly, it can backfire tremendously, giving the witness more credibility and ultimately damaging your case.

In this free CLE, board-certified attorney Heather King, a Shareholder at KoonsFuller, will give you cross-examination strategies that you can use immediately. No fluff, no abstract concepts—just real-world tips that work.
‍In this free CLE webinar, you'll learn about:
  • How to plan and structure your questions for maximum impact
  • How to keep the witness from dodging, rambling, or undermining your case
  • What not to do when cross-examining a witness.

November 18: Birthright Citizenship: A Candid Assessment of Wong Kim Ark and Its Modern-Day Implications

Wong Kim Ark was born in San Francisco in 1873 to parents who had emigrated to the United States from China. In 1894, he took a trip to China. When he returned to San Francisco a year later, he was denied reentry, as the authorities invoked the Chinese Exclusion Act. Wong argued that he could not be denied admission because he was born in this country and therefore was an American citizen. The Supreme Court ruled in Wong Kim Ark's favor, holding that, pursuant to the Fourteenth Amendment, Wong Kim Ark was a U.S. citizen, even though his parents were "subjects of the Emperor of China." On January 20, 2025, shortly after being sworn in, President Trump signed an Executive Order restricting birthright citizenship. Litigation immediately followed.
The Fourth Annual Fall Symposium of the Center on Asian Americans and the Law at Fordham Law School will present a two-part program on birthright citizenship. First, we will tell the story of Wong Kim Ark, a Chinese cook who took his case to the United States Supreme Court in 1898. Second, a distinguished panel will explore the issues presented by the recent Executive Order.

July 16: The Grieving Attorney: Navigating Loss with Competence and Compassion

We are lawyers, but we are also human and as such, are subject to all the range of experiences that all people face at some point in their lives. Grief is one such experience. 
We may experience multiple types of loss over the course of our professional careers including the loss of health, a job, a marriage, and of those for whom we care, among many others. 
This CLE discusses what and how we grieve together with the types of grief and the grief journey. This is approached through the lens of attorney ethics because grief can significantly affect our diligence, responsiveness, and client communication, to name just a few of attorneys' job responsibilities. 
The applicable ethical rules will be discussed including ways to ethically navigate our many responsibilities as attorneys while grieving. We discuss why lawyers' grief may be compounded by the nature of our professional work and the unremitting demands that often accompany it. Finally, we'll discuss various ways we can hold space for that which we are grieving to give meaning to our changed circumstances.
