Providing Effective Feedback

How do we provide effective feedback – both positive and constructive – in a way that is likely to result in sustained improvement? How do we move from extensive line-editing to actually teaching writing? Please join us for a discussion with two experienced Berkeley Law clinicians, Mridula Raman and Ty Alper, both of whom work extensively on law students’ persuasive writing in the Berkeley Law Death Penalty Clinic.

Predictive Data Analytics and the Law

Experts will discuss the impact of innovations in technology on capital markets, with a focus on rules proposed by the SEC regarding the use of predictive data analytics by broker-dealers and investment advisors.

Storytelling

As lawyers, our clients entrust us with their stories and narratives. How do we ethically honor our clients’ narratives when sharing and translating their stories into the narrative of a case? Please join Sabyl Landrum, Supervising Attorney with Clean Slate Practice as we explore how to ethically honor and preserve your clients’ narratives in legal practice.

Deposition Tips

Deposition is arguably one of the most effective discovery devices that can make or break your case. Join Desirée Nguyen Orth, Director of the Consumer Justice Practice at East Bay Community Law Center where she works on statewide consumer protection policy and impact litigation, as she guides you through the basics of depositions.

Please note: Berkeley Law has been authorized by the California State Bar to offer a specified number of MCLE credits for each qualifying Berkeley Boosts webinar. Attorneys from other states will need to contact their local bar to verify their own certification requirements.
