Law School present the Eighth Annual Litigation Skills Symposium at the
Tulane Law School in New Orleans from May 12-15, 2009. The four-day
Symposium features an expert faculty demonstrating the specific advocacy
skills necessary to be an effective insolvency practitioner.
Participants work in small groups; their performances are videotaped and
then evaluated by the faculty, who provide invaluable feedback on
technique, style and strategy. The Symposium also features a final-day
mock trial to be held at the Hale Boggs Federal Courthouse. Enrollment
is limited to the first 24 registered practitioners to maximize the
learning experience. New to this year’s program is the addition of
six open spots open for the first financial experts who register for the
program. These financial experts will receive invaluable training on how
to be an effective witness and will put their newfound skills to work
during the final trial. Approximately 18.25 hours of CLE/CPE credit are
available.
