Effective Civil Motions Practice for Young Lawyers

BackBack to Annual Meeting Home
Time: 10:15 AM - 11:45 AM
Presenters: Mr. Mitchell H. Edwards
Mr. William Paul Elliott II
Credits: 1.5

Civil practice requires a solid understanding of the rules and the knowledge necessary to implement them effectively. Successful practitioners view procedural rules as tools in their arsenal of persuasion rather than as barriers that must be hurdled.

With a view from both sides of the bench, this CLE presentation will help young lawyers use the rules of civil procedure to prosecute or defend their case more efficiently and effectively. Improve your pleadings by setting the stage in your favor early. Present timely motions that assist the court in narrowing the issues and adopting your analysis of the problem. Finally, increase the persuasiveness of your writing by enhancing the organization and clarity of your motions, briefs, and memos.
