About the Program

This CLE will address different forms of discovery that one may encounter in a family law matter that fall outside of a “normal” mandatory discovery request. The speakers will review the new laws on interstate discovery, how to appropriately handle out of state depositions, including when and where to file a commission to take an out of state deposition, and how to properly serve subpoenas of both third parties and financial institutions, such as banks. The speakers will address the applicable Practice Book Sections, statutes, time periods and limitations, along with any case law that the attendees should be aware of, which will include discussion on implementation of the Interstate Deposition and Discovery Act.

You Will Learn

How to properly approach discovery, thinking outside of the box, including:
o identifying those discovery issues outside of those most frequently encountered
o steps on how to collect the discovery
o how to properly authenticate and submit / preserve the testimony and documents for the Court

Who Should Attend

Anyone interested in learning proper techniques to discovery inquiries, and those who want to brush up on the proper procedure for depositions and discovery.
