Description

When defending police officers and municipalities in police liability cases, practitioners are faced with a multitude of issues from the moment a complaint is filed. 

This session will cover questions that we commonly ask ourselves when defending these cases: 

1. Should you remove the case to federal court? Do you
2. file a motion to dismiss when the plaintiff will likely be able to amend to cure the defects?
3. How do you effectively handle the deposition of a plaintiff? 
4. Should you depose the plaintiff’s experts? 
5. How do you effectively set the case up for summary judgment motion based on qualified immunity? 
6. How do you effectively use motions in limine? 
7. What issues should you consider when preparing jury instructions or special verdict forms? 

You won’t want to miss the critical answers to these questions and many more.
