Washington Council of Lawyers presents "Litigation Skills Series: Remote Hearings"

Traditional trial advocacy requires preparation, a mastery of the law and facts of a case, and the ability to persuasively communicate. Effective virtual trial advocacy requires these skills AND a mastery of technology and procedures that may be unfamiliar to even the most seasoned litigator. It's no wonder the continued use of remote hearings may be intimidating to many lawyers. How can you effectively build your case when you are not in the same room with your fact-finder and witnesses? With a mixture of lecture and demonstration, expert litigator Phil Andonian will reveal best practices and etiquette for remote hearings and discuss tips for effectively operating remotely.

Phil Andonian is an experienced trial lawyer and Co-Founder of Caleb Andonian PLLC. He has nearly 20 years of litigation experience in criminal defense, labor and employment law, and personal injury law. Phil has tried more than two dozen cases to verdict and has helped many clients through the complexities of civil discovery and motions practice. He also regularly represents clients in administrative hearings and arbitrations.

This training is appropriate for public-interest, law firm, in-house, and government lawyers of all experience levels who have or will have to appear virtually.

Cost: $35 for WCL Members and co-sponsoring organizations; $65 for non-members

Scholarships are available thanks to the generosity of the D.C. Bar Foundation. Email Nancy Lopez to apply.
