Have you encountered opposing counsel who is acting Unprofessional, or even Unethical, during the Discovery Phase of Litigation? Not sure how to address or confront Sanctionable conduct during the Discovery Process? This seminar will address real case examples of Misconduct during the Discovery Phase of Litigation, and how to appropriately use the South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedures to expose potentially Sanctionable conduct by opposing counsel. One case study that will be reviewed in detail resulted in the highest Monetary and Substantive Sanctions issue by a South Carolina Judge in South Carolina Jurisprudence.
The American College of Trial Lawyers is an invitation only fellowship of exceptional trial lawyers of diverse backgrounds from the United States and Canada. The College thoroughly investigates each nominee for admission and selects only those who have demonstrated the very highest standards of trial advocacy, ethical conduct, integrity, professionalism and collegiality. The College maintains and seeks to improve the standards of trial practice, professionalism, and ethics.
This seminar is an intermediate level program.
This program qualifies for 2.0 MCLE credit hours, including 2.0 LEPR credit hours.
