How to Construct Complex Pleadings in Microsoft Word

• Author/Instructor:  Oklahoma Bar Association

How to Construct Complex Pleadings in Microsoft Word One of the most difficult technical tasks one can undertake is formatting a complex brief in Microsoft Word that has a title page, table of contents, table of authorities, multi-level paragraph numbering, and page numbering that starts over in the middle of the document and switches formats (for example, Romanettes to Arabic).  In this class, you’ll receive a finely tuned 10th Circuit US Court of Appeals brief template (in Microsoft Word), and you’ll learn how to use it, customize it to your purposes, automatically generate/update a table of contents and table of authorities, and control formatting within the document no matter where you copied and pasted it from.  The heavy lifting is already done, and if you use this template as the starting point for your next brief, you’ll shave many hours off the process because the formatting will just work.  Of course, we’ll also explain how the template was constructed so you can use the techniques in your other documents.   Disclaimer:  All views or opinions expressed by any presenter during the course of this CLE is that of the presenter alone and not an opinion of the Oklahoma Bar Association, the employers, or affiliates of the presenters unless specifically stated.

Logic Series Part 2 - Is that a fact

Program Description:Classical logic is built upon premises that are presumed to be true, but what exactly is “true” and how does it differ from fact?  A recent Pew Survey revealed that 64% of knowledgeable, savvy Americans could not distinguish properly between five factual statements and five opinion statements; the unknowledgeable, unsavvy Americans fared far worse.  In this fascinating program, Part 2 of Logic, Argumentation, Persuasion, we’ll examine the differences between facts, inferences, beliefs, opinions, and norms.  We’ll use this information to help you construct more convincing, logical arguments and enhance your credibility in litigation and transactional practice, as well as in casual conversations.  We’ll also consider: How “social facts” influence individual behavior; How “norms” differ from “values”; Whether “facts” are always reliable evidence; and How data differs from information   Disclaimer:  All views or opinions expressed by any presenter during the course of this CLE is that of the presenter alone and not an opinion of the Oklahoma Bar Association, the employers, or affiliates of the presenters unless specifically stated.

The Same Coin: Parental Alienation

• Author/Instructor:  Jennifer J. Harman, PhD; Associate Professor of Psychology

  The Same Coin: Parental Alienation   The litigation of cases involving family violence is a complex area of law that strongly impacts the lives of millions of families. Unfortunately, there has been considerable misinformation, misconceptions and misunderstandings about family violence that have negatively influenced law, policy, and practice. This program was taken from a 6-hour, two-part training which focused on recent scientific advances and best practices for assessment and treatment for domestic violence (3 hours) and parental alienation (3 hours) legal cases. Case management, the use of experts, and litigation strategies will also be discussed.     Bio: Jennifer J. Harman, PhD., is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Colorado State University. She obtained her PhD in social psychology from the University of Connecticut in 2005, and also holds two master’s degrees in psychological counseling from Teacher’s College, Columbia University. Her research has focused on the topic of family violence, and she has published dozens of scientifically peer-reviewed articles, books, and book chapters on this topic, particularly on the topic of parental alienation. She is currently the President of the International Counsel on Shared Parenting, and has been accepted as an subject matter expert witness on parental alienation and/or family violence in 16 U.S. States, the District of Columbia, and the Canadian Province of Ontario.   Disclaimer:  All views or opinions expressed by any presenter during the course of this CLE is that of the presenter alone and not an opinion of the Oklahoma Bar Association, the employers, or affiliates of the presenters unless specifically stated.
