We will also work in small groups to brainstorm ways to apply these tools in our cases. Between Session One and Session Two you will prep for your portion of a mock 58A hearing. \nDay Two: The second afternoon will be on your feet time. You will practice putting these tools to work for your client’s benefit in a mock 58A hearing. We will also have a mini-lecture on appealing a 58A. \nWe will have to limit space to make sure the small group workshop time is the most productive\, so please sign up soon!  \n
