Want to learn about what works and what doesn’t work from the perspective of a judge herself when preparing submissions through to delivering oral arguments on IP matters?
The Honourable Justice Pallotta will share her tips and tricks on Federal Courts best practices, addressing the pressing questions on every IP practitioner’s mind. In her presentation, she will cover topics such as how to best prepare for a motion or a trial, how to effectively manage case management and trial management conferences, and how to argue your case convincingly. Justice Pallotta will address the role of technology and its advantages and challenges in proceedings before the Court.
