Finding the evidence is only part of the challenge.

Getting it admitted is where many trial battles begin.

A photograph. A police report. A translated document. An expert opinion. A key witness.

The evidence may seem compelling, but foundation requirements, evidentiary objections, motions in limine, and witness issues can determine whether it reaches the jury at all.

For litigators, understanding what gets admitted, what gets excluded, and why can be just as important as the evidence itself.

Business Email Compromise scams are increasingly targeting law firms through account takeovers, spoofed messages, and fraudulent payment instructions.

Many lawyers assume these incidents happen because of sophisticated hacks.

Often, they begin with routine email activity that appears completely normal.

A client email. A wire instruction. A forwarded message. An autofill mistake. A compromised account that looks legitimate until client funds or confidential information are already at risk.

As these scams become more convincing, lawyers need to understand how everyday Outlook practices can create financial, operational, and ethical consequences.

By the end of MCLE’s Family Law Trial Advocacy Workshop, a sitting Probate & Family Court judge will critique how you handled the case under pressure.

That experience defines the program.

Over five days, participants serve as trial counsel in a mock divorce case that unfolds throughout the week. You argue motions, deliver opening statements, examine witnesses, and conduct direct and cross examinations of actual psychological and real-estate experts.

The workshop combines live performance exercises, faculty demonstrations, judicial feedback, and a final full trial simulation designed to build practical courtroom skills that traditional lecture-based CLEs cannot replicate.

Employment agreements are creating disputes long before termination ever happens.

A restrictive covenant is challenged after an employee leaves. Severance language conflicts with wage laws. “For cause” provisions become the focus of litigation. Confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses create exposure to neither side anticipated during negotiations.

What looks like routine drafting can determine leverage, enforceability, and liability months or years later.

This program breaks down where employment agreements are failing in practice, how Massachusetts attorneys are navigating restrictive covenant and termination issues right now, and what lawyers should reconsider before the next dispute arises.
