The presentations are designed to “go beyond the basics,” and really dig in on how practitioners navigate these discovery challenges through real-world examples. Andre is serving as course advisor along with Mark Kosieradzki, author of “30(B)(6): Deposing Corporations, Organizations & the Government, Depositions Obstruction: Breaking Through.” Other faculty members include Seth Cardeli, Camille Godwin, Carmaletta Henson, Paula Jossar, Annika Martin and Zachary Wool.
