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
