DRI’s 2010 Damages Seminar will take a fresh look at how defense lawyers (both in-house and outside counsel) and insurers can help clients get to the bottom line in a “just, speedy, and inexpensive” manner, consistent with Rule 1 of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. The faculty of nationally recognized corporate counsel, consultants, experts and outside counsel will teach you how to make yourself invaluable to your clients. Speakers will share creative thoughts on how to understand and manage client expectations, how to evaluate and strategize a case; how to address intangible values; new rules and junk science; how to listen to and talk to juries about value and money; and how to harmonize empathy, sympathy, ethics and justice in the courtroom and beyond. On Wednesday March 17, attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a networking session with in-house counsel, insurers and outside counsel from across the country. |

Toxic tort litigation and environmental regulatory matters present significant liabilities for companies today, not just on the legal front but also in the court of public opinion. In-house counsel at companies that face such liabilities and their outside counsel, as well as the technical consultants who support them, must keep abreast of legal and scientific developments in this area. DRI’s Toxic Torts and Environmental Law Seminar will provide a forum wherein-house counsel, defense lawyers and consultants may freely share lessons learned from their successful defense efforts and receive practical instruction in defending against toxic tort lawsuits. |
