Join PBI for a fast-paced introduction to the practice--learn via skits and panel discussion!
This is the next best thing to shadowing a mentor.
Relax in your seat and watch a typical comp case proceed from claim to negotiation to compromise and release. After each skit, the panel gathers for a lively exchange as the actions in the preceding skit are analyzed and evaluated.
Establish and revitalize your practice as you learn:
- How to conduct client conferences, depositions, and hearings
- How to use investigative services and the Internet
- What criteria a judge will use to decide a questionable case
- All about comp forms and filings—what’s required, when, and where to file
