AAJ Education’s Litigating Nursing Home Cases Seminar: From Case Selection to Trial brings together experienced plaintiff trial lawyers to share their insights and knowledge on topics vital to achieving a full recovery of damages for your clients. This year’s program walks participants through every phase of case preparation, from ethical consideration in case selection to winning themes in closing arguments—as well everything in between. Program highlights include sessions on building a corporate case by following the money trail, proving understaffing at the nursing home, and selection and use of experts.
Along with insightful content, this seminar offers participants a chance to meet and network with fellow plaintiff trial lawyers practicing nursing home law. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or new to nursing home litigation, you will leave Boston with an array of tools, tips, strategies, and connections that will enhance your practice and help you better advocate for your clients.
"Another great seminar with fantastic speakers. Well worth the time and expense. I always come back energized from these events and see how I can apply what I have learned."
—Roger S. Weinberg, Towson, MD, 29 years in practice
"This is the best CLE I have been to in 23 years of practice."
