Presented by the Young Lawyers Section
About the Program
Short calendar has drastically changed in Connecticut over the years and for newly admitted attorneys, speaking before a judge in a court room filled with experienced practitioners can be a daunting task. The Covid-19 pandemic has also shifted the way that courts handle short calendar, and remote proceedings have become a regular practice. Attendees will receive an overview of Connecticut’s short calendar system, the logistics of short calendar, how to prepare for short calendar, and how to address both in-person and remote appearances.
You Will Learn
- How to properly use the Connecticut Judicial Branch’s E-Services website for short calendar markings
- Short calendar logistics (including in both in-person and remote proceedings)
- How to properly and effectively present your argument in court
Who Should Attend
Newly admitted attorneys, law students, and seasoned practitioners looking to improve their short calendar skills.
