This program will discuss practices that were developed during the pandemic in regards to trials, and discuss whether they believe these measures are temporary or here to stay. Some measures that will be covered include remote hearings, jury trials and witnesses, more screens for jurors, and use of sidebars, among several other pretrial and trial practices. Seasoned litigators Tom Joensen, Steve Finley, and Elizabeth Dyer Kellett will be joined by Zimmer Biomet in-house counsel Justin Kashman to discuss their experiences arising out of jury trials that were held over the pandemic.
