Robert J. Foster, Partner in Reger Rizzo & Darnall’s Litigation group, will serve as Moderator during the National Business Institute’s full-day program, What Civil Court Judges Want You to Know. The program will provide attendees with ways they can reach a civil litigation resolution as quickly as possible, while receiving insight directly from the bench. The panel of presenters includes six Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas judges: The Honorable Ann Butchart, The Honorable Gene D. Cohen, The Honorable Marlene F.

Attendees will learn what judges usually prefer during case management and pretrial conferences; how to correctly handle motion hearings and motions for summary judgment; tips on how to avoid discovery practices that most judges consider egregious; tips for on what to ask during your next set of voir dire questions; what the most common witness and evidence errors are that judges hope all attorneys avoid; and obtain a list of the elements that judges consider when making decisions on a case.
