This fast-paced session equips attendees with concrete strategies for managing multi-party, high-profile, and high-stakes cases. It offers approaches for handling media presence, remote proceedings, and self-represented litigants, while maintaining procedural integrity and room control. It delivers focused techniques for addressing disruptions that can undermine complex hearings—including difficult issues of first impression, intricate evidentiary disputes, sealing and confidentiality requests, expert witness coordination, conflicts of interest, and emergent ethical dilemmas. Participants will receive a robust toolkit of checklists, scripted prompts, and caseflow management tools to minimize delay, reduce conflict, and streamline fact-finding for challenging cases.
