Virtual discoveries are necessary now, and will remain an important tool for advocates in the future. Learn to master virtual discoveries from our lineup of leading practitioners, all of whom have significant experience conducting remote examinations.

In our live and interactive virtual classroom format, the panel will first share their insights on how to conduct efficient and effective virtual examinations for discovery. You will then join a faculty-led breakout room to learn more in smaller groups. You will have the opportunity to practice using the technology hands-on as you discuss the key tasks, tools and techniques unique to virtual discoveries.

*Due to current concerns with COVID-19, we will be offering this program fully remotely via webcast only.
