Best Practices Round Table Forum 

Judges and practitioners will be assigned to small groups to brainstorm about best practices, effective techniques, do's and don'ts, and "tricks of the trade" in the areas of Civil, Criminal, Family, Commercial/Bankruptcy, ADR and Appellate law. Questions and open discussion led by the judges will follow. Join your colleagues as we share gems that worked well and approaches to avoid. Judges from the Appellate Court, Hartford JD and New Britain JD in each field, a federal bankruptcy judge, as well as experienced practitioners will be leading the groups.
