Online


OBA Civil Litigation PROGRAM
 | 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (ET)

Join us for this practical overview of key evidentiary issues in civil litigation. Our expert faculty will share helpful insights as we unpack:

  • Use and limits of hearsay evidence, including affidavit evidence on motions and applications, statements of deceased persons, and financial records in fiduciary disputes;
  • Expert evidence, with a focus on independence, potential bias, and the proper scope of opinion, as well as emerging issues involving privilege and the use of artificial intelligence;
  • Challenges related to electronic documents and digital records; and
  • The court’s discretion to exclude irrelevant evidence.


Ensure you are equipped with the knowledge you need to tackle evidentiary issues in your practice. Register now!
