Information

Why Attend?

  • Review the role of motions in limine in shaping what evidence, and how much of it, the jury will be allowed to consider
  • Examine the role of permissible and prohibited closing arguments in shaping what evidence the trial court will admit
  • Learn best practices shared by speakers Ed Weiner and Mike Charnoff based on their combined more than 65 years of trial experience
  • Benefit from hearing about the losses that this dynamic duo have suffered and learn useful tips from their many victories

This seminar will be an advanced, in-depth focus on presenting and arguing damages under Code of Virginia § 8.01-52 and the 2012 Supreme Court of Virginia case of Wakole v. Barber.

The “choreography” of closing arguments will be demonstrated with exhibits that are readily adapted to most personal injury cases.
