Summary

The Honorable Chad F. Kenney will lead a spirited discussion of several issues practitioners will encounter once a case proceeds in federal court. Topics will include the Rule 16 conference, what judges are really looking for in Rule 26(f) reports and the role of a Magistrate Judge in your case. We will highlight whether your case has the potential for dismissal under the Federal Arbitration Act and ethical considerations such as practical advice on how to avoid Rule 11 sanctions. We will also explore specific types of cases filed in federal court such as § 1983/Civil Rights and Copyright and Trademark cases.
