Welcome to Chicago, and to the TIPS Staff Counsel CLE for 2008. Our last CLE here was a great success. We use a proven format with a first day for the front-line litigators and a second, half-day, with management issues. Tuesday starts off with a trial judge well known for his "Art of Persuasion" CLE presentations: The Honorable Mark Drummond. A panel of three expert witnesses follows, with tips on cross-examining experts. After lunch, you’re treated to none other than Terence F. MacCarthy, one of the most riveting cross-examination experts and CLE speakers today. Tuesday continues with a unique speaker—Diane Wyzga. She's the only R.N., J.D. professionally-trained storyteller and former law professor who trains lawyers. Diane will interactively work with us to make interesting trial stories of our ownfact problems using the actual bad facts as we sometimes get from Claims. Wednesday's program includes two panels of staff attorneys, regional, and corporate managers, and a legal recruiter. The first addresses the best ways to communicate with Claims. The second discusses how to conduct an interview, how to handle discipline, and how best to address staff conflicts. All of this and Chicago, too! Sign up today and we look forward to seeing you there. For "Tools for theTrenches" Brochure | ||

Staff Counsel:The Changing Litigation Environment The history, culture and excitement of Philadelphia provide the setting for the annual CLE program presented by the Staff Counsel Committee of the American Bar Association, Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section. This year’s program, "Staff Counsel: The Changing Litigation Environment" covers topics of importance and concern to staff counsel lawyers in the context of the ever changing insurance industry and litigation climate in which we practice. As with past programs of our committee this one is aimed specifically at staff counsel managers and trial lawyers, but includes information that is educational and instructive for any insurance defense litigator. This seminar presents a unique opportunity for attendees to network with peers in other staff counsel programs while gaining knowledge from experts in ethics, trial advocacy, law practice management and other substantive areas of the law. Presentations include practical tips and techniques to enhance your practice and the quality of representation of your clients. For Brochure | ||
