Parachute Counsel: Problems and Considerations

In many cases, preparing a case for trial begins the moment you get the complaint.

But what happens when you are tapped in as trial counsel when all of those items have already been completed? This presentation will discuss the differences in trial practice when one is parachuted in as trial counsel, and how to effectively roll with the case you've been handed.
