Program Description
Join KU Law Professor Mike Hoeflich and family law attorneys Rachel Whitsitt and Christine Rosengreen for a 1-hour CLE webinar on Friday, April 04, 2025. The panel of speakers will offer keen insight regarding ethical considerations in propounding and responding to formal discovery requests specific to family law matters, but the principles discussed will have broader application to civil litigators. Participants will learn the attorney’s ethical duties as it relates to discovery, from how to propound the requests and how to approach the client’s responses, all in an effort to better advance the case and client’s interests. Participants will also learn practice tips in managing the client relationship and effectively responding to discovery request to guard against either the client, or even the attorney themselves, from receiving court sanctions related to how discovery is handled.
