On Tuesday, May 10, Damon Wright will serve as the moderator for the Annual Bench-Bar Dialogue and CLE to be held at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division. This always well-attended Federal Bar Association event provides an opportunity to hear from the Court's U.S. Magistrate Judges and receive their views on effective practice before the Court.
This year's topics include e-discovery cost-shifting, protecting the attorney-client privilege, discovery objections, the expert discovery amendments, depositions of corporate designees, instructions not to answer at deposition, and ex parte contact with an opposing party's former employees.
