This inaugural event will provide lawyers an opportunity to engage with—and learn from—our fine N.D. Ohio judges. Three panels of magistrate and district court judges will share their insights and offer practical advice for civil and criminal practitioners. They will discuss a range of litigation topics, including discovery, case management conferences, motion practice, brief writing, oral advocacy, trials, and more. A cocktail reception with the judges will follow.
