Join us for this unique opportunity to have a dialogue with these new Judges, exploring not only their views from the Bench thus far, but also their own top tips for effective and efficient advocacy in their courtrooms. Under the guidance of Chief Justice Sullivan and an experienced practitioner, hear the panel discuss practical concerns involved with holding travelling sessions, as well as promoting civility and collegiality with court personnel and fellow attorneys. Learn about the style and substance that each Judge brings to the Court. Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to participate in valuable dialogue with the newest members of the Housing Court.
