As litigators we spend untold amounts of time pondering case strategy, worrying about winning or losing motions, planning out discovery and figuring out the “story” to tell at trial. Amid all of these challenges, we can lose sight of the fact that we are serving people who are likely experiencing angst about the uncertainty that is inherent in the litigation process. Much of that angst arises from the mystery in which depositions, mediations and trials are shrouded. In this program our panel will demonstrate how effective preparation of the client for these major litigation events can dramatically reduce stress and improve client performance. The following topics will be covered:

1. The “triggers” for stress within clients.
2. The importance, in deposition preparation, of seeing the case through the lens of opposing counsel.
3. The benefits of video tutorials and mock depositions.
4. How to “draw away the curtain” and make the client a working partner in the mediation process
5. The importance of fully educating the client as to the chronology of a trial and the “ambience” of the courtroom.
6. Primers on preparing the client for direct and cross examination.
