Join JAMS Neutrals Hon. James C. Francis IV (Ret.), Hon. Steven M. Gold (Ret.), Hon. Henry Pitman (Ret.) and Mark E. Segall, Esq. in person or online at the Practising Law Institute's Pretrial Practice 2023 one-day program. Pretrial practice in federal civil litigation continues to change. As fewer civil cases are tried, the staples of pretrial practice — pleadings, motions to dismiss, discovery, Daubert motions, summary judgment, and settlement — have replaced trials as the focus of litigation. What does the changing nature of pretrial practice in litigation mean for your practice? Join the PLI faculty of experienced plaintiffs’ and defense attorneys, inside counsel, judges and others as they review what you need to know to succeed at this increasingly important stage of litigation.
