Motions are critical tools for litigators in any practice area. They can streamline proceedings and even resolve issues altogether – but without the right strategic foundation and skills, lawyers risk wasting time and facing embarrassing outcomes.
Take your motions advocacy skills to new heights with this 90-minute power session where leading members of the Bench and Bar will share best practices and answer your questions about effective motions advocacy.
*Due to current concerns with COVID-19, we will be offering this program fully remotely via webcast only.
