Don’t Be THAT Lawyer: Staying Out of Malpractice Trouble

June 5, 2025 11:00–12:00 p.m. Central

Sometimes, lawyers intentionally behave badly. More often, however, we momentarily fail to live up to our normal standards. This program will present real-life examples of attorney malpractice and ethical lapses from actual cases around the country and will provide helpful strategies and advice for staying out of malpractice trouble.

Parachute Counsel: Problems and Considerations

August 8, 2025 11:00–12:00 p.m. Central

In many cases, preparing a case for trial begins the moment you get the complaint. You get to ensure the appropriate affirmative defenses are raised, conduct discovery necessary for your strategy, and file the motions you feel appropriate. But what if you haven’t had the case from the beginning? Coming into a case mid-stream, or just before trial, can be filled with challenges. This presentation will discuss the differences in trial practice when one is parachuted in as trial counsel, how to effectively prepare your defense strategy and how to roll with brand new, but nearly fully developed case.
