1530 – 1730 Young Litigators’ seminarNorthwestern University Pritzker School of Law 375 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611
International litigation in practice: service, taking evidence, enforcement and other cross-border challenges
This session will be based on a hypothetical case study supported by materials. We will explore some of the common issues that arise in cross-border litigation, including issues of judgment enforcement, international service and the taking of evidence.
Attendees are asked to read the materials (which are not too substantial) in advance and to be ready to propose a litigation strategy designed to address the issues presented by the case study. The session will then unfold as a role-play with separate groups representing different legal teams.
For registration and for queries regarding this seminar, please contact either Sandrine Giroud [email protected] or Christian Tuddenham [email protected]. Places are limited and early registration is encouraged.

The science of advocacy and persuasion – social science perspectives on what works and what doesn’t workAdvocacy and persuasion involve psychology, neuroscience and behavioural science, even more than law. Social science therefore plays a tremendous role in dispute resolution – for judges and arbitrators, counsel, and, in some jurisdictions, juries. This session will feature expert insight into advocacy and persuasion from the social science perspective including such issues as:• The decision-making process of the brain• The impact of subconscious bias on decision-making• Cultural differences in the evaluation of arguments• Psychological influences on witness testimony• The application of psychological and neuroscience considerations in developing oral arguments and written submissions

1115 – 1230
Trial advocacy – witnesses, facts and persuading triers of factFor advocates, trying cases is the ultimate goal. Everything done to develop a case should be done with an eye towards persuading the decision-maker at trial that your client should win. Every interview conducted, every piece of evidence obtained, and every legal theory considered should build the case for trial. This session will feature outstanding advocates discussing trial skills and strategies, including:• The importance of developing a trial theme and how to do it• How to make the best evidence stand out• Direct versus cross-examination and how to use them effectively• Strategies for developing opening and closing arguments• Winnowing piles of documents down to the key persuaders in the age of electronic evidence• Persuading a justice versus persuading a jury

Appellate advocacy – a different skill set?Appeals are sometimes viewed – wrongly – as a chance to re-argue the case. In fact, appellate advocacy differs from trial advocacy in a number of ways and can require a different skill set. This session will feature experienced appellate counsel who will discuss such issues as:• How preparing for an appeal differs from preparing for trial• Formulating an effective opening• Distilling the key issues to be addressed on appeal• Responding to questions from the court and from multiple judges with differing perspectives• Practical tips for presenting an effective appeal• Appearing in the highest court in the land

1545 – 1700
Perspectives from the benchEffective advocacy is ultimately in the eye of the judge. The session will provide insight into advocacy from the perspective of the bench and offer delegates the opportunity to hear judges address the questions that preoccupy us as advocates.• What skills most impress judges?• What advocacy techniques are effective in their minds?• What have great advocates done to change a judge’s view of the case?• Is aggressive advocacy more or less effective than calm persuasion?• How important is oral advocacy versus written advocacy?• How often does the hearing change the judge’s mind?

Advocacy and ethics – how far can you go?Can the zealous advocate also be an ethical advocate? What are the rules that constrain a ‘win at all costs’ approach? In what situation is the trial lawyer most at risk of crossing ethical boundaries? This session will discuss ethical issues that arise at each stage of litigation including:• Taking a case with bad facts or bad law• Limitations on the gathering and use of documentary evidence, including reliance on leaked, stolen or illegally- obtained documents• Issues associated with the use of private investigators• Limitations on meeting with and preparing witnesses• Ethical constraints in the context of settlement negotiations• Communications with the press• Ethics in trial advocacy

Roundtable: Advocacy in the 21st century – challenges and opportunitiesThe challenges of advocacy continue to evolve. Fewer and fewer cases get to trial or even a hearing. Legal costs drive settlements. New technologies pose challenges at every level and at every stage of a dispute – factual, legal and in terms of advocacy skills. Social media are a new source of evidence that is increasingly prevalent. This roundtable discussion will engage delegates in wide-ranging discussions of advocacy challenges today, including: • Advocacy skills in the age of the ‘vanishing trial’ – has advocacy become a lost art?• The increasing importance of written advocacy and the impact of arbitration on oral advocacy skills• The impact of escalating legal costs of advocacy and what counsel can do about them• What are the technologies that have most changed advocacy and how can counsel adapt?• How to present new types of evidence (such as social media) and use new technologies in court

Unauthorised Accommodation AgentsIt has been brought to our attention that there are multiple companies contacting past attendees, claiming to represent the IBA, offering ‘assistance’ with registration and hotel bookings.

Please ignore any communication that does not come directly from the IBA or Judy Lane ICS.

International Bar Associationthe global voice of the legal profession
The International Bar Association (IBA), established in 1947, is the world’s leading organisation of international legal practitioners, bar associations, law firms and law societies.
The IBA influences the development of international law reform and shapes the future of the legal profession throughout the world. It has a membership of more than 80,000 individual lawyers and more than 190 bar associations and law societies spanning over 170 countries.
Inspired by the vision of the United Nations, the IBA was founded in the same spirit, just before the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed in 1948.
The IBA covers all practice areas and professional interests, providing members with access to leading experts and up-to date information, enabling them to better represent their clients’ interests.
Through its various committees, fora and task forces, the IBA facilitates the exchange of information and views among its members as to laws, practices and professional responsibilities relating to the practice of law around the globe.
IBA Litigation Committee OverviewThe Litigation Committee focuses on the legal, practical and procedural issues involved in conducting litigation. Differences and developments in individual jurisdictions are compared. The issues arising in international litigation receive particular attention, including issues such as jurisdiction, choice of law, and the role of international judicial assistance in dispute resolution. Practitioners involved in larger scale or international litigation can debate topical issues and share their experiences of handling and solving the problems arising from such disputes. In particular, the committee seeks to explore the differences of approach between the common law and civil law traditions, and to encourage a dialogue between practitioners from these two systems.
Close links are maintained with various organisations such as the American Bar Association Litigation Section, the British Institute of International and Comparative Law and the Australian Corporate Lawyers Association.
The committee meets annually at the main IBA Conference and also has a specialist litigation conference generally held in May or June each year, together with regular seminars and events organised by the committee’s local country chairs. The Annual IBA Conference also provides an occasion for the Young Litigators Forum to offer a forum for young lawyers to present papers and exchange ideas.
Committee members receive regular copies of the committee’s newsletter which provides details of the committee’s current activities plus recent developments in the law worldwide. Members also receive the biannual journal of the IBA’s Dispute Resolution Section, Dispute Resolution International. Full details of the committee’s Executive Committee and its regional and country chairs are published in the newsletter, and are available on this website. The committee welcomes applications for membership from all lawyers with an interest in litigation.
