Robert Sallander presented “Trial Admissibility” at the Santa Clara County Bar Association’s Civil Practice on April 24, 2025. The seminar was a two-part program that began with an overview of evidence requirements for admitting evidence at trial. The second half of the seminar was a breakout session where attendees were given a mock witness statement and trial exhibits. Participants served as the plaintiff attorney for questioning a witness on specific exhibits with another attendee playing the defense attorney to challenge the proffered evidence.
The seminar’s featured speakers included Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Julia Alloggiamento, Judge Socrates Manoukian, and Judge Lori Pegg. The Judges shared their insight during the evidence overview, offered best practices, and “presided” over the breakout sessions.
The seminar was hosted at McManis Faulkner in downtown San Jose. A huge thank you to the Judges, the SCCBA, and McManis Faulkner for making the seminar a success.
