Description:
The rapid emergence and continuing use of remote litigation-related
proceedings has increased the need for effective advocacy skills.
Remote proceedings, via digital meeting and online platforms, create new
challenges for lawyers, putting some into unfamiliar surroundings and
requiring all lawyers to advance their clients’ interests and maintain
professional composure while dealing with technical glitches or
interruptions. This webinar will examine how lawyers might hone their
skills to be effective remotely in various stages of litigation,
including conferences with judges and opposing counsel, bench and jury
trials, and oral arguments before judges and juries. The presenters
will consider differences in advocacy skills when lawyers are before a
court by audio or video conferences as opposed to in-person appearances
and offer tips for effective oral advocacy in virtual proceedings;
examine challenges to direct and cross-examination of witnesses in
virtual proceedings; suggest best practices to reach juries that are
participating remotely or in socially distanced courtrooms, including
opening and closing arguments; and provide insights into post-pandemic
proceedings and how lawyers might respond to opportunities for court
appearances in-person or virtually.
