Objections vs. Instructions Not to Answer (or Depositions: Don’t Say Anything!)

About this program
To object, or not to object? Join Tony Ross of Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker for a comprehensive overview of the use of objections in the courtroom. The program will review best practices on the various reasons attorneys can instruct their witness not to answer, examine ways to protect privilege, and provide practical instruction on techniques to strategically utilize objections. This program also addresses how to navigate difficult scenarios when opposing counsel won’t back down. Participants will walk away with an understanding of how judges handle disputes and ready-to-use language that protects the record.
