Today, cases are won or lost through the pretrial process. Changes to the rules governing motions to dismiss, class certification, discovery, summary judgment, and experts have placed early decision hurdles on cases, making the litigation front-loaded. At the same time, the internet, electronic communication, and social media have changed the way evidence is collected, making more pre-complaint information available but also changing the ways that information is maintained and reviewed.
This webinar will address:
- The essential rules of evidence and procedure for the pretrial process
- Litigation challenges and innovations, including the internet and remote technology
- The practical and theoretical challenges to new litigation paradigms
