New York Litigation: Rookie Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

For 28 years, attorney Carol G. Morokoff has practiced law in most of the courthouses located in the five boroughs of New York City, Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and a few of the ones south of Albany.  In that time, she has observed and committed a few completely avoidable mistakes - if only she had known how to recognize them in advance.

This presentation, "New York Litigation: Rookie Mistakes and How to Avoid Them," seeks to provide a guide, ripe with real-life experiences, to the more easily dodged mistakes.  Ms. Morokoff also addresses what one should do if such mistakes have already been made.

Learning Objectives: 

I.    Recognize basic litigation mistakes 

II.   Avoid the common mistakes made by newly admitted attorneys

III.  Smoothly correct mistakes you have already made

IV.  Carry on nonetheless
