Program Description:
 
Whether you are a litigation novice or a seasoned practitioner, if you desire the latest practice pointers from the leaders in the evidence field, this program will get you up to speed on the law that applies to both Civil and Criminal Litigation.  Our distinguished faculty will explore some of the crucial fundamentals of evidence law including:
 
Hearsay: Common Exclusions, Exceptions and Pitfalls 
This discussion will center on the definition of hearsay and the important exclusions from the definition, the most commonly encountered exceptions to the ban on hearsay, and some of the pitfalls surrounding hearsay issues that can trap the unwary practitioner.
 
Character Evidence
What is it, who gets to use it, and how does it get in?:  This discussion will focus on what character evidence is and is not, when and in what types of cases character evidence can be admitted and in what form the evidence has to be offered.
 
Scientific Evidence: Daubert, Shreck and Rule 702 
This discussion will center on the foundation necessary to admit scientific evidence pursuant to state and federal court interpretations of Rule 702, as well as provide insightful and contemporary examples of the strengths and weaknesses of scientific and pseudo-scientific evidence.
 
Making and Preserving a Record: Where Evidence Meets Advocacy 
This panel discussion among a trial judge, an appellate judge and a practitioner with both trial and appellate experience will focus on refreshing witness's memories, impeaching witnesses with prior inconsistent statements, and preserving the record of evidentiary issues in order to maximize your chances of success on appeal.
