Recent Developments in Civil Litigation 2017 (Online Seminar)

A pre-recorded streaming AUDIO replay of the August 2017 live telephone seminar, Recent Developments in Civil Litigation.

Let our experienced trial lawyers do the work of keeping up with changes to the law and important decisions that affect your civil litigation practice for you. They will digest the past year’s amendments to the Virginia Code, key decisions from the Virginia Supreme Court and Court of Appeals of Virginia, changes in Virginia and federal procedural and evidentiary laws, and federal court decisions that affect you and your Virginia practice. They will also tell you what the changes mean and how you can profit.

While not every case they discuss will be of interest to you, it is nearly certain that several will be “difference makers” in your practice, and amply repay your investment of two hours.

Topics covered:

• News you can use—the latest changes in civil litigation practice and procedure
• Expert advice on working smarter and dodging traps for the unwary
• Handy written materials covering significant state and federal case reports and statutory developments in the last year
