Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar/teleconference with Q&A
Conducted on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Recorded event now available
This CLE webinar will provide associates with a review of standards for summary judgment established in the FRCP and how courts apply the standards to particular types of employment lawsuits. The panel will outline best practices for employment law counsel when drafting summary judgment motions.
Description
Because employment cases in federal court are resolved through summary judgment more often than any other stage of litigation, summary judgment motions are one of the most important tools of employment law counsel. A well-drafted motion is critical to its success.
Though the summary judgment standards are established in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, counsel must understand how courts apply them in various employment law contexts. These standards must be effectively articulated with the relevant facts for the motion to prevail.
Listen as our authoritative panel of employment law attorneys discusses the standards for summary judgment in federal court, how to address the standards clearly when drafting a motion, how to craft an effective statement of facts, and more.
