NELA Nite Series:The Vengeful Adversary: Dirty Tactics and How to Fight Them Off (Via Zoom)
 
Our adversaries are getting more and more comfortable coloring outside the lines. Filing defamation cases based on demand letters, naming us attorneys in litigation to conflict us out, threatening extortion claims, are all creative ways that defense is trying to scare us in a misguided attempt to fend off meritorious cases. New SLAPP legislation can help, but only if you know how to use it. Don’t let sharp practice stop you from making big monetary demands, asserting aggressive claims, or speaking out on your client’s behalf.
  
In this four-part series, we’ll dive into common extra-meritorious threats and claims that our adversaries have been weaponizing. Panelists include Susan Crumiller, the founder of Crumiller P.C., the feminist litigation firm, and Carrie Goldberg, the founder of C.A. Goldberg, PLLC, the victims rights law firm, plus a special guest in Part IV.

How should you respond when your adversary is messing around? When should you alert the court and how? What is the best tone to take? Does the judge see what a jerk your adversary is? How can you avoid having the judge throwing up their hands and thinking both of you are just squabbling and that you're equally responsible? For our final installment, join our very special guest, The Honorable Gerald Lebovits, for an insider view from the court on what judges wish you would do in these scenarios, how to bolster your own reputation, and most importantly, how to walk away with the best results for your clients.
