Program content will be adjusted according to court closures and administrative orders.

Even though jury trials have been further postponed in Maryland, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be prepared for what's to come. Join us as we discuss lessons learned from the first six weeks of jury trials during COVID.

Judges and attorneys from four different jurisdictions that experienced in-person trials during COVID will share what to expect in the courtroom, what precautions are being taken and how jury selection has changed. This program will prepare you for your next jury trial by giving you strategies on how to adapt in this new environment.

What you'll take away:

• What to expect in courtroom logistics
• What had to be modified
• How did focus groups change trial strategy
• How will voir dire work?
• Best practices and what to avoid
