The speakers will discuss scenarios where a party does not want to disclose and how it impacts the process as well as the practical concerns about prejudicial information being revealed in a collaborative case that does not settle and ends up in litigation. |
| Judges Panel: Expert Witnesses and Evidence Hon. Benjamin B. Elliott Bondurant, Hon. Deborah V. Bryan, Hon. Daniel E. Ortiz, Barry J. Waldman (Moderator) A panel of judges will discuss effective (and ineffective) use of expert testimony as evidence, including (but not limited to) pretrial requirements, use of treating therapists as experts, and recent case law touching upon expert witness testimony. |
| “Well That’s Just Like Your Opinion, Man”—Murky Areas of Legal Ethics Daniel L. Gray, David D. Masterman Dan Gray and David Masterman, two experienced presenters on the matter of legal ethics, will team up and discuss issues of ethics in family law cases that at first may not have obvious solutions. Audience participation will be encouraged to help the group as a whole arrive at answers to tough questions, including: conflicts with witnesses; crimes discovered during the case; client secrets versus full disclosure; and representing the repugnant client. |
