SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:LOOK OUT BELOW:  Blunders\, Landmines and the Consequences of Poor Attorney Performance in the Preservation of Record Error \nOriginally presented on June 11\, 2021 \nThe Florida Bar President’s Showcase CLE presented by The CLE Committee of The Florida Bar\,  The Florida Bar Appellate Practice Section\, The Florida Bar Criminal Law Section\, and The Florida Bar Trial Lawyers Section \n  \nFriday\, June 11\, 2021\n2:00p-5:00pm\nHilton Bonnett Creek\nThe Florida Bar Annual Convention\nAND Live Webcast \nCourse Number: 4379\nCourse Level: Advanced\nCLE Credit: 3.0 \nWHY WE ARE HERE \nThis CLE is a call to all Florida lawyers\, working cases state and federal\, civil and criminal\, to pay greater attention to the legal\, ethical\, and moral consequences of the failure to properly preserve error in records below. \nFrom the perspective of Justice Labarga\, along with our host of expert presenters — Bar leaders all — our intention is as much to educate on best practices in error preservation (how to avoid the many mistakes and missteps\, common and uncommon\, pretrial\, trial\, and beyond) as it is to infuse in Florida lawyers this universality of spirit: \n\nto rededicate ourselves to this often neglected principle of our practice law;\nan obligation owed to client and cause;\na reflection of public trust;\na fidelity to our profession and ourselves.\n\nPROGRAM \n2:00pm-2:05pm\nWelcome\nScott Fingerhut\, Program Chair and CLE Chair\, Criminal Law Section\nFIU College of Law and H. Scott Fingerhut\, P.A.\, Miami \n2:05pm-2:10pm\nIntroduction of Justice Jorge Labarga\nWarren Lindsey\, Chair\, Criminal Law Section\nBoard Certified in Criminal Trial Law\nLindsey & Ferry\, P.A.\, Orlando \n2:10pm-2:40pm\nTo Protect and Preserve: Lawyers Must Do Better\nJustice Jorge Labarga\, Florida Supreme Court\, Tallahassee\nJustice Labarga will speak on the critical — too-often neglected — importance of error preservation across legal contexts.  Emphasizing the centrality of the lawyer’s role\, Justice Labarga will discuss how better representation of clients and causes by acquiring and honing error preservation skills brings on better justice and fosters a legal profession worthy of public confidence and trust. \n2:40p-2:45p\nIntroduction of Criminal Law Presentation\nYohance Asim Pettis\, CLE Chair\, Trial Lawyers Section\nUnited States Attorney’s Office\, Tampa \n2:45pm-3:25pm\nBetter Error Preservation in Criminal Law\nMichael T.

Haughwout\, Board Certified in Criminal Trial Law\, Public Defender\, 15th Judicial Circuit\, Palm Beach\nMichael Robert Ufferman\, Board Certified in Criminal Appellate Law\, Michael Ufferman Law Firm\, Tallahassee\nIn this dynamic presentation\, our presenters will address the many ways in which errors in criminal cases are better preserved — in court and out\, at all stages of representation — and the consequences of counsel’s failure to uphold this core professional responsibility. \n3:25pm-3:30pm\nIntroduction of Civil Law Presentation\nChristopher D. Donovan\, Board Certified in Appellate Practice\, Chair\, Appellate Practice Section\, Roetzel & Andress\, Naples \n3:30pm-4:10pm\nBetter Error Preservation in Civil Law\nSteven L.

Sandridge\, Board Certified in Appellate Practice\, Buchanan Ingersoll-Rooney\, Tampa\nIn this equally dynamic presentation\, our presenters will address the many ways in which errors in civil cases must be better preserved\, and the equally dire consequences to client\, cause\, and our profession when counsel fails in this all-important responsibility. \n4:10pm-4:55pm\nNo Rest for the Weary: A Discussion with Lawyers’ Lawyers on Better Justice through Better Error Preservation\nModerator:\nCeci Culpepper Berman\, Board Certified in Appellate Practice\, Brannock Humphries & Berman\, Tampa\nPanelists:\nGerald B. Cope Jr.\, Chair\, Appellate Practice Group\, Akerman LLP\, Miami\nHenry M. Coxe III\, Board Certified in Criminal Trial Law\, Bedell\, Dittmar\, DeVault\, Pillans & Coxe\, Jacksonville\nRodolfo Sorondo Jr.\, Chair\, Appellate Practice Group\, Holland & Knight LLP\, Miami\nIn this great discussion\, this trio of legal legends will reflect on pitfalls — obvious and not – in error preservation\, and the importance of how best practice achieves better justice and enables our profession to more profoundly gain the public trust. \n4:55pm – 5:00pm\nProgram Close\nScott Fingerhut\, Program Chair and CLE Chair\, Criminal Law Section\nFIU College of Law and H.
