Gemma Zanowski,
1 Law & Legal Credit Pending
Level: III
Finding liability on a government entity requires both legal and factual pieces to fall into place. Some of these pieces come from the documents, but many come from deposition testimony of government employees and representatives. Join Gemma and Lisa as we discuss our strategies, techniques, and preparation designed to extract “critical breadcrumbs” from the government’s own witnesses.
