Good lawyers know the Rules of Procedure and Evidence; GREAT lawyers know how to use them to win cases. 

Join your colleagues in the litigation bar for a seminar featuring some of South Carolina’s most experienced and knowledgeable trial attorneys, academics, and judges as they provide you with unerring guidance on key rules of procedure and evidence that you must master if you want to take your career to the next level. 

What you’ll learn:

  • How to be more persuasive in your motion practice.
  • How to preserve issues correctly and effectively for the appellate tribunal.
  • The rules on use of prior bad acts – and how to use them effectively in impeachment.
  • How to present your case persuasively using visuals and demonstrative evidence.
  • Key rules of procedure and how to make them work for you.
  • Federal Civil Practice including FRCP and jurisdictional developments.
  • And evolving expert evidence.

This special seminar also features an hour of litigation ethics and best of all, each registrant will receive a digital copy of Justin Kahn’s brand-new South Carolina Evidence Handbook Annotated, Seventeenth Edition. In addition, you may also choose to order (and pick up at the seminar) a hard copy of South Carolina Rules Annotated 2022 also by Justin Kahn.

Don’t miss this opportunity to make your litigation practice better and get two of the best trial resources available in South Carolina.
