NO CLE/MCLE CREDIT:
CLE/MCLE credits are not earned from taking this course because:
(a) It is the recording of the live August 4, 2005 program Mr. Ohlbaum did for us. CLE/MCLE Commissions do not approve programs held so long ago.
(b) In it, he refers several times to the then Federal Rules Of Civil Procedure, some of which may have been amended since the program (August 4, 2005 ). Thus, we cannot verify that the substantive rules and law to which he refers are still the same. You will need to do that .
However, as indicated by the title, this course is primarily about trial techniques . Those valuable techniques, as taught by this wonderful master, continue to be useful to this day. If you are a trial practitioner, do not miss Professor Ohlbaum's words of wisdom .
