The four-day Symposium offers insolvency practitioners a rare
opportunity to gain critical skills in a unique learn-by-doing
environment. The Symposium combines quality instruction with
individualized critique. The expert faculty demonstrates specific
advocacy skills necessary to be an effective practitioner. Participants
work in small groups; their performances are videotaped and evaluated by
the faculty who provide invaluable feedback on technique, style and
strategy. The workshops include live performances by lay and expert
witnesses. The final-day mock trials will be held at the Richard B. Russell
Federal Courthouse. The entire program is extremely work-intensive and
interactive for both the attendees and faculty. Enrollment is limited to
the first 24 registered practitioners to maximize the learning
experience. Approximately 18.25 hours of CLE/CPE credit are
available.
Lecture and demonstration topics will include:
- Introduction to Bankruptcy Litigation and Trial Preparation
- Direct Examination and Introducing Evidence
- Cross Examination of Expert and Lay Witnesses
- Art of Persuasion/Trial Techniques to Win Your Case
