John McNichols’ Post

For all those interested in the particularities of evidence law at the summary judgment stage, Kristen DeWilde and I encourage you to check out our upcoming program.

The evidentiary standards at summary judgment are not the same as those that govern at trial, and failing to recognize the difference can have consequences to litigators.  In this new article, published today by the ABA Litigation Section Trial Evidence Committee, Kristen DeWilde and I attempt to explain what those differences are and how they can affect the outcome of a case. Please let us know if you find it helpful. Many thanks to Ethan Tidmore and the rest of the Trial Evidence Committee for the opportunity. #litigation #evidence https://lnkd.in/gHCJuqyE

Over the past seven years, the NCR-SQD has raised more than $200,000 for wounded warrior charities through team endurance events.  On October 8, we are undertaking a GORUCK Tough Challenge in Alexandria, Virginia to support the Special Operations Fund (https://lnkd.in/dFrHRvgw), which provides financial assistance to the families of U.S. service members of the Joint Special Operations Command. Every dollar raised will go directly to the Special Operations Fund. Please consider making a contribution through our GoFundMe page (https://lnkd.in/d735fXgy).  No donation is too small. Thank you. #veterans #thankyou #army #events #charity
