Mastering Remote Advocacy – Managing Challenges and Embracing Opportunities
In the wake of the COVID-19 we find ourselves embracing remote advocacy and the inherent unique challenges presented in connection with this new world. One major change is that many of our hearings will now be remote video hearings in courtrooms. A well-prepared attorney who is familiar with the mechanics and ground rules of navigating this new remote working environment will be armed with the tools they need to make their remote hearings highly effective.

Arbitrators are often required to rule on whether a party who is a non-signatory to a contractual arbitration provision can be compelled to arbitrate or can compel a party who is a signatory to arbitrate.

The webinar will discuss recent federal and CA cases and point out where arbitrators need to be wary.
