The Real World, Part II

Students who attended Part I of this five-part series loved it. Don't miss out on learning how to deal with real world problems encountered in the practice of law.

The Real World is sponsored by CSO, the Office of Clinical Programs, and the Suffolk County Bar Association.

This week, you will meet two extraordinary attorneys as they discuss how to deal with adversaries who are incompetent or otherwise unable to understand how to advance the ball. While in a litigation setting, an incompetent adversary might be to your benefit, such incompetence will not be in your interests or the interests of your client if your adversary does not know when it is time to settle a case. In addition, in a transactional setting, an incompetent adversary may require you to do most of the major lifting to advance a deal you both would like to see get done.
