OBA Civil Litigation PROGRAM | 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM

Attention New Calls and Licensing Candidates! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the critical skills you need to thrive as a litigator. By now, you know a lot about the law. But as any practicing lawyer will tell you, that’s only a small part of practice. Historically, new calls would bridge the gap through trial and error: making mistakes and getting feedback by a partner or judge and vowing never to make that misstep again! This program is your opportunity to skip those pitfalls and hit the ground running. Our expert faculty will walk you through dozens of skills that seasoned litigators know but may not have time to teach, including how to write a proper letter, how to interact with clients, how to prepare basic court documents, how to structure settlements, and courtroom decorum.
