Three Judges Provide Their Top Advocacy Tips

Paula Puddy, HBA LLB MBA

As family lawyers, we often wonder what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong when appearing before a judge.

There aren’t many opportunities to find out what judges really think about different advocacy styles and what we can do to improve. It’s also important given that the environment in which counsel now practice has changed significantly. There is an increased reliance on new technology, virtual forums and new case law related to Covid-19. This program will provide an opportunity for counsel to learn how to best assist their clients and the court in this new reality.

This TLA panel of 3 judges will provide their top tips for family law conferences, motions and trials, including:

• Contested motions and Motions to Change due to loss of employment because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
• Case conferences and the impact of Covid-19 on parenting issues in general.
• Trials and how they are currently being held during the Covid-19 pandemic and how to prepare for them.
