- The first one-half hour will be a review and refresher of basic citation principles.
- During the next one-half hour, some new topics will be covered, including using parentheticals, preparing tables of authorities, and citing to court documents.
- During the second and final hour, attendees will work on some citation exercises and correct errors in a court brief. Attendees will then receive an answer key for the exercises and work together on cite-checking and correcting the court brief.
