CLE Courses

The Network of Trial Law Firms, Inc. is a not-for-profit association. The goal of our member law firms is to provide their clients with high quality trial and litigation representation through advances in education, technology, business and science.

The Network is engaged in a number of activities to assist law firms in accomplishing that goal, including research and study of advances in the state-of-the-art of legal representation, and sponsorship of CLE seminars for continuing legal education of corporate in-house and outside counsel and insurance professionals. Our CLE programs aid in the dissemination of new information and effective techniques and technologies to attorneys and claims professionals serving corporations and insurers.

Since 1993 we have conducted two three-day CLE seminars each year. In 2000, we added one-day CLE seminars to our offerings. Our focus is always excellence in litigation management and trial results. We are the home of the "Litigation Management Supercourse," a program that our attorneys created in 1993 and have produced and updated more than 30 times since then, on our own and at times together with various not-for-profit CLE organizations and bar associations.

You are about to view some of our recent CLE offerings, organized in groups of 2 or 3 presentations, called "modules". Each module should qualify for as much as 1.2 CLE credits, depending on the CLE requirements of the state in which you are admitted.

CLE delivered via the video medium can be approved in most but not all states at this time. However, requirements for accreditation are changing and coming more in line with modern means of delivering CLE, such as our video presentations.

High Profile Litigation With Historic Impact
Kelly Corr -- Corr Cronin Michelson Baumgardner & Preece -- Author Contact Information
Seminal litigation with decisions that make new law can change the course of history with huge impacts on local economies. A consistent theme adopted from the start, hammered home at every opportunity, can spell success despite overwhelming odds and powerful, well-funded opposition. The truth is a litigant’s strongest ally and should be clarified, embraced and championed throughout. Trial lawyer Kelly Corr has recently concluded such a case with numerous appeals and several years of litigation resulting in the preservation of an established commercial institution dating back to the Yukon Gold Rush.

Reflections on the Black Art of Jury Selection
Warren Platt -- -- Author Contact Information
Selecting jurors on the basis of "gut feeling, instinct, and 'I know them when I see them' " tactics is becoming increasingly risky. Differing life experiences are shaping attitudes and presumptions in vastly different ways. Children of the new millennium have different views than Gen X'ers and baby boomers on virtually everything. Smoke out likely views and making sure your message comes across is the goal. Trial lawyer Warren Platt brings his exceptional high stakes trial experience to bear on this emerging issue.
Litigation Risk Analysis - More Than Rolling the Dice
Hugh Gottschalk -- -- Author Contact Information
Every client evaluates cases. Do we have a "good" chance of winning? What's the risk of a "big" verdict? What's the settlement value? Hugh Gottschalk has been trying cases for Fortune 500 companies for more than 25 years, and working to find more reliable ways to evaluate and quantify risk, as well as to determine technically defensible settlement values. Hugh will provide an overview of the widely acclaimed Decision Tree methodology, and share his experiences using decision trees to evaluate cases and develop business model-like approaches to settle/try decisions.
Emerging Exposures in Canadian Product Liability Law

Jack Sharman -- Lightfoot, Franklin & White, L.L.C. -- Author Contact Information
Businesses spend millions each year responding to electronic discovery requests. Are costs out of control? Can value and ROI be measured for electronic-discovery expenses?

Made in China
Denise Lazar -- -- Author Contact Information
Every substantial North American company is either doing business in China, going to be doing business in China or doing business with another company with strong China connections. China's legal system and jurisprudential culture present challenges and surprises to the uninitiated. In addition to getting the deal done, in-house counsel face added responsibilities for protecting the company not usually present in domestic transactions. From lead paint in children's toys to copyright piracy, U.S. companies face increased risks. Trial lawyer Denise Lazar will discuss pitfalls and protective steps available to companies outsourcing work to other countries, with a focus on China.
Is Arbitration Broken? Can It Be Fixed?
Roderic Heard -- Wildman Harrold -- Author Contact Information
What's wrong with arbitration and why do draftspersons resist it? Our panel of experienced litigators will examine the state in which we find arbitration today and consider how it got there. Trials are expensive, prolonged, and polarizing. But is arbitration any better? Our panel will analyze the arbitration processes and suggest a course for redemption.

Attacking Medical Studies & Statistical Associations
John Jerry Glas -- Deutsch, Kerrigan & Stiles -- Author Contact Information
Medical experts often rely on studies and statistics to link an event with an injury and, in turn, to an impairment. Successful defense counsel distinguish mere "associations" from proof of causation. Trial lawyer Jerry Glas shows you how to find the buried treasure in every medical study. Defense counsel can roll-up their sleeves and dig for demographic tables, exclusion criteria, confounding variables, and tests for statistical significance. And experts don't always tell the whole story. Defense counsel can discover information that was hidden about a study, and use that information during cross-examination.
Defendant Class Actions in the Context of Retiree Welfare Benefits
Larry Gwaltney -- -- Author Contact Information
Things companies do invite class action litigation. But what if you sue first? Trial lawyer Larry Gwaltney presents legal and practical tips in bringing a defendant class action and effecting significant reductions in balance sheet liability in the process.
Mississippi's Reversal of Fortune
Phillip Sykes -- -- Author Contact Information
Trial lawyer Phillip Sykes will provide an overview of Mississippi's evolution from a historically pro-business state to judicial hellhole in the mid-1990's through early 2000's and its return to a pro-business condition. Judicial and legislative reform, combined with an aggressive public relations campaign have turned the tide of litigation there. This case study will provide practical recommendations that defense lawyers and their clients can use in other dangerous jurisdictions.

What's available and when to use what will be our topic, with lots of demonstrations and examples. Prepare for some entertainment.
