Robert Musante

Thursday October 11th, 2007

Program 8:30 am - 4:30pm
The quality of depositions in any case most often determines the outcome of that case. Yet the vast majority of litigators take mediocre depositions their entire careers because, frankly, their training in this crucial skill consists of the uncritical observation of more "experienced" litigators, who themselves had little or no strategic deposition skills training.
High-quality adverse depositions require the conscious and conscientious application of an integrated set of logical cross-examination rules. These seminars waste no time on entry-level "wisdom," code chatter, idiosyncratic war stories, or tired maxims. Instead, they teach how to take adverse depositions as never before ... the one, right, logical way: as an intellectually, rigorous discipline.
Robert Musante has taught over 28,000 lawyers in 39 states, including 11 offices of state attorneys general. A former University of California Trial Advocacy Lecturer and accomplished civil trial attorney, Mr. Musante has appeared as a legal commentator on radio and national television.

KCBA presents a hands-on opportunity to discuss your appellate issues with twenty attorneys possessing a vast amount of appellate experience, civil and criminal, state and federal. Two outstanding appellate judges will discuss the courts’ view of briefing (morning) and oral argument (afternoon). Our panelists will discuss issues raised in each of these two keynote addresses, and then break-out into small groups of eight to 10 attorneys to discuss specific issues relevant to the attendees’ own appeals or potential appellate issues, as well as real-world examples from the appellate attorneys’ past cases. After intensive small-group work on practical and relevant issues concerning the record, briefing and oral argument, our panelists will debrief the entire group on the small-group discussions.
