C3945 Experts on Advocacy: The StoryBoard. Putting Your Case Together for the Courtroom
2020-06-04 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Audio Webcast
Experts on Advocacy is a new series presented by the Criminal Law Section featuring ideas and advice that are easy to understand and effective to apply, from some of the best strategic thinkers and compelling courtroom lawyers Florida has to offer.
The chair of the Criminal Law Section, and University of Florida Professor Law, Jennifer Zedalis, presents our first installment in the EOA series — The StoryBoard: Putting Your Case Together for the Courtroom.
In The StoryBoard, Professor Zedalis addresses a group of essential skills related to getting our cases out of our offices, computers, and briefcases, and into the courtroom for trial. In doing so, this 75-minute-long video CLE will help you answer essential questions, such as: How do I know I am as prepared as possible for trial? How do I make the case easy to understand and appealing for the jury? And how I do deal with changes and surprises during trial?
Professor Zedalis will cover this and more, and take your questions during her presentation as well.

2020-05-21 12:00 - 13:30 | Zoom
The Criminal Law Section, along with Florida Lawyers Assistance, offers this FREE mental health “check-up” to discuss the fear, uncertainty, and disruption the COVID-19 pandemic has stirred in and caused for us these many weeks. Keeping with its over 35-year commitment to our legal community, this FLA “fireside chat” will be facilitated by Dr. Scott Weinstein, FLA Clinical Director, and Molly Paris, FLA Assistant Director. Fittingly held during Mental Health Month, Dr. Weinstein and Ms. Paris will address the many emotional, psychological, and professional issues associated with our well-being during this challenge — both anticipated and unexpected — helping us to develop coping skills unique to ourselves and our profession, while remaining socially responsible to contain the spread of the coronavirus. The panelists will take questions from attendees, both before, during, and after their presentation, suggest appropriate counseling contact and aftercare, as well as conduct a follow-up fireside chat with us in June to see how we are doing.
