Preserving Your Record for Appeal in Contested Consumer Collection Actions
Length: 1 hour
In Part 1 of this Legal Learning Webinar Series – Creditors Rights: Contested Consumer Trials & Appellate Practice, our subject matter experts, Travis Campbell and Tomio Narita will cover the “life cycle” of a contested consumer collection action, starting from the moment that an Answer/Counterclaim is filed by opposing counsel, and ending at the trial of the action. Items covered will include the importance of developing and protecting the record through all stages of the case, challenging the pleadings, building a discovery plan, summary judgment considerations, client and third-party coordination, anticipating evidence needed for trial, identifying and preparing trial witness, filing pretrial motions, and trying your case.
