Thursday, August 8, 2024 12:00pm – 1:00pm

Presenters:

Lori Rifkin, Litigation Director, Impact Fund

Fawn Rajbhandari-Korr, Training Director & Senior Counsel, Impact Fund

While civil litigation is often contentious, opposing counsel demonstrating a lack of respect for attorneys coming from underrepresented groups in the law is a particular challenge.   We will discuss common issues that attorneys experience with opposing counsel particularly based on sex, gender, and intersecting identities, provide strategies to combat discrimination at every stage of civil litigation, and review the guidelines that prohibit this conduct in the legal profession.

Viewing the recorded training qualifies for one hour of self-study California MCLE civility credit.
