Litigation Nuts and Bolts: How a Complaint Gets to Trial - In Person
Whether you're navigating your first complaint or preparing for your first deposition, Litigation Nuts and Bolts is the program built for you. Organized by the Colorado Bar Association's Young Lawyers Division, this year's installment covers the full arc of pre-trial litigation, from drafting and responding to complaints, through discovery, depositions, expert witnesses, summary judgment, and jury instructions. The program highlights rising stars in the litigation field — younger attorneys who have been in the trenches recently and know what it's like to figure this out for the first time. YLD members attend for just $99 (a $220 savings off the regular section member price), making this one of the most practical and affordable investments you can make early in your career.
IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE HAS ITS PERKS
Continuing Legal Education in Colorado, Inc. (CBA-CLE) values you and your participation in the Colorado legal community. The pandemic taught us that community building comes more naturally in person than it ever could via Zoom. Attending CBA-CLE events in person is a great way to network and meet new colleagues.
To encourage community building through in-person attendance, CBA-CLE will be holding a drawing at every live program held in the CLE Classroom, available only to in-person attendees. The winner will receive a CLE Elite Pass for 1 year (a value of $1,295 for members/$1,695 for non-members) simply by attending live.
CLE CREDITS: This program has been submitted for 7 General CLE Credits.
The program is accredited in Colorado. CBA-CLE staff can provide a Uniform Certificate of Attendance, and it is the attendee's responsibility to complete the accreditation outside of Colorado.
Home studies will be available 2-3 weeks following the live program.
CBA-CLE is committed to providing access, equal opportunity, and reasonable accommodation in its services, programs, and employment. To request an accommodation please contact [email protected] at least 14 business days in advance.
