Professionalism is required in any legal matter, but is especially apparent when appearing on motions. This program is a primer aimed at Licensing Candidates as they begin arguing Masters' Motions. It contains lessons on professionalism, ethics and practice management, and will cover the following topics:
- Avoiding motions: why you want to and how to go about it;
- Preparing written materials: start by considering what it is you want and draft your notice of motion to reflect that; ensure you understand the legal tests that apply so your evidentiary record addresses each point; and present the current state of the law fairly;
- Service before filing: how to avoid pitfalls so your motion is not adjourned because it was not served on time;
- The oral presentation: how to make a compelling and convincing argument, without deviating from the evidence or the applicable law, in a manner that ensures you are heard; and
- Civility in the courtroom.
