ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Litigators, particularly in the products liability and casualty litigation context, can utilize several
technological tools and techniques in their practice. The use of animations, models and scanning surveys,
in addition to various testing techniques and laboratory-based resources can provide litigators with helpful
and persuasive tools. Course planners Jacqueline “Jax” Pavlicek, Esq., Brad Cranshaw, Esq. and Kenneth
Berger, Esq. have teamed up with engineer, Tim Jur, to provide you with an informative session that
combines the practical uses of technology with the information litigators need to know when working with experts. This program centers on the drama and reality of two case studies, a personal injury/products
liability case and a commercial vehicle accident and injury case. The combination of real life applications of technology and the law governing expert testimony will help litigators ensure they are making the most of
their work with experts. This program will give participants the opportunity to see the technology in action,
as well as gain insight into issues such as admissibly, effectiveness and response to Daubert and
gate-keeper challenges. The course planners have planned a thought-provoking and creativity promoting
course for your benefit and enjoyment.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Vulnerable adults are often the most invisible segment of our population both culturally and legally. While there are both federal and state agencies with responsibilities for providing assistance, advocacy and protection for vulnerable adults, there remains much confusion and duplication of effort so that many of
our most at-risk elders, veterans and disabled citizens fall through the cracks.
The SC Bar CLE Division and the AARP of South Carolina are proud to co-sponsor this special seminar, designed to open your eyes to the breadth of issues facing vulnerable adults, bring clarity to the array of programs and services, and help you be the most effective advocate possible within and without the state
and federal assistance systems.
The distinguished keynote speaker is Paul Greenwood, San Diego Deputy District Attorney and Head of the Elder Abuse Prosecution Unit. Paul’s presentation will provide guidance to solicitors and private attorneys
alike on the breadth of elder abuse crimes rampant in our country.
This seminar will also provide valuable insights on programs and agencies tasked with protecting our vulnerable adults, including OAPA, the interplay between agencies and the courts, working with the
Veteran’s Administration, assistance in recognizing signs of abuse, preventions strategies and criminal and civil liability under South Carolina law.
Whether you work for a state agency tasked with protecting the rights of elders or other vulnerable adults, practice in the criminal or civil liability arenas or represent elders or their care givers, this is a program you definitely need to attend!
