Tom Wilkinson was the course planner and will be on the faculty for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute's webcast, "Civil Litigation in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania."
Knowing your judge and the judge's preferences can give you—and your client—an advantage in the courtroom. This course will provide valuable insights to effectively navigating the Eastern District Court—from knowing what to expect and what is required of you (from pre-filing through trial), as well as the logistics of filing and today's courtroom technology.
You'll receive practice pointers on the key pretrial and trial requirements, including pre-complaint investigations and initial pleadings; scheduling; traditional and electronic discovery; handling of witnesses and evidence; and how magistrate judges can assist you in securing favorable settlements.
