The public is vastly interested in media coverage of civil legal stories. From actions against Boeing for its door plug blow-up to toxic mold actions against Seattle Children’s Hospital or sexual assault suits against a rap artist, from actions against Lyft, Uber, and Amazon for causing wrongful death through their drivers – to cases against the State for violating the civil rights of protesters or for excessive police force. From filing the initial complaint to reaching a trial verdict, attendees will gain a comprehensive overview that will enhance their ability to cover legal stories with precision and clarity. The webinar will break down the stages of a lawsuit, demystify legal jargon, offering essential knowledge for accurate legal reporting.
