Session 1: Write Your Brief Like a Country Song: The Universal Rules of Effective Communication -  A great country song tells a compelling story in a way that makes you want listen to whole thing.

Session 2:  Dos and Don'ts of Discovery in Texas Civil Proceedings -  Join Robert K. Wise and Kennon L. Wooten as they cover tips and traps relating to seeking and resisting discovery in litigation pending in Texas state courts. They will focus on the Texas discovery rules and will cover both written discovery and depositions.

Session 3: How to Be an Ethical Ally (When You Work with a Bunch of Attorneys) - Are you a person who notices inequities around you? Do you want to respond when you see or hear another person being slighted? Do you work with a bunch of attorneys? If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then this is the ethics presentation is for you. Join DeDe Church as she dives into some common biases sometimes seen in law firms and legal departments and discuss how you can effectively interrupt these biases by being an ally to your peers and to your profession.
