GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND THE FREEDOM TO TWEET, POST, LIKE, AND SHARE?
Social media communication is now pervasive among employees and can be problematic for employers…especially public

follows, hashtags, and other social media activities. We will also explain the importance of social media policies and what
they should contain.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT JURIES ARE THINKING?....THINK AGAIN

of a case, liability and damages and develop an effective trial theme. We will also discuss how jury consultants use focus juries
to assist in mapping out an effective jury selection process.
