Litigation Section
The Litigation Section was formed in 1997 as a forum for civil trial attorneys to foster collegiality and hone their advocacy skills. It presents seminars on trial practice featuring the county’s fast track judges and its most senior practitioners in live demonstrations on the art and science of trial practice.
The section sponsors programs of interest for civil practitioners of all experience levels and abilities. In past years, the Litigation Section has sponsored presentations regarding use of technology in the courtroom, jury trials, complex issues in breach of contract cases, taking and defending depositions, ADR, and litigating in federal court.
The section continues to provide a place for litigators to obtain up-to-date information regarding all aspects of litigation and to socialize and network. The section also facilitates an ongoing dialogue with the local Superior Court bench to keep pace with changing court procedures (including e-filing and related administrative developments) and ensure the efficient and fair administration of justice.
Members receive discounts to Litigation Section programs and publications. For more information or if you have an interest in joining the board of directors, please contact Josh Cohen.
