IADRA November 18 - 20, 2009 Sofitel Hotel, Chicago, Illinois The International Association of Defense Counsel has created a brand new program designed to provide hands-on advocacy skills practice for experienced litigators, insurance executives, and in-house counsel who engage in ADR domestically or internationally. Over three days, our expert faculty, consisting of practitioners, mediators, and arbitrators, will lead participants through a combination of interactive discussions and workshops. Those familiar with the IADC's renowned Trial Academy will recognize this proven format of demonstration and hands-on practice. Who should attend? • Experienced outside defense trial counsel • Corporate executives and in-house counsel to corporations • Insurance industry executives and insurance counsel • Litigation department heads • Advocates developing a mediation and arbitration practice Due to the limited hotel room block, we require that you register first with the IADC. We will then provide you a code you will need to make your hotel reservation. Questions? E-mail meetings@iadclaw.org. We hope to see you in November!
