Dan Ballesteros to Speak at SCCBA on Pre-Trial Motions

Hoge Fenton managing shareholder Dan Ballesteros will speak on a panel, “Nuts & Bolts of Litigation Part III: Law & Motion Practice.”

Pre-trial motions can significantly narrow the scope of a case, alter the balance of power between the parties or even result in final resolution of the matter. This event focuses on the pre-trial stage of litigation in considering:

• When is it appropriate to file a pre-trial motion?
• What issues should be considered in making or opposing such filings?
• What strategies do judges view as effective in preparing and arguing these motions?
• This seminar will benefit young lawyers in helping them efficiently and effectively planning when to file these motions and more seasoned professionals with insider tips from highly respected plaintiff’s and defense attorneys on how they can maximize and enhance their knowledge in this area.

This MCLE event is presented by the Santa Clara County Bar Association (SCCBA) Business Law & Litigation Section, together with the Barristers’ Committee.

The event may be attended live at the SCCBA conference center in San Jose or via Webcast. Click here for registration and more information.
