On
March 14th Attorney Richard Brown joined other well-respected members
of the Connecticut Bar to present “The Ten Most Wanted: Keys to Admitting and
Excluding Evidence.” This seminar, which
was organized by the Hartford County Bar Association and hosted by the Hartford
law office of Shipman & Goodwin, was geared towards showing attendees the
practical application of the rules of evidence.
During each of ten sessions one presenter would act as a witness while
two others acted in the roles of the attorney offering the evidence and the
attorney opposing the offer in a courtroom setting. Mock arguments were heard before the
Honorable Susan Q. Cobb and the Honorable Hope C. Seeley. Attorney Brown’s presentation focused on the admission
of medical, hospital and forensic/laboratory reports.
