Westin River North Hotel 320 North Dearborn Street Chicago, IL 60610

Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP attorney, John W. Sheller, will be a featured moderator at the 2012 LMRM Conference. The Conference will take place February 29 - March 2, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois, at The Westin Chicago River North. Mr. Sheller will be moderating the topic, "Recent Cases and Strategies Involving Expert Witnesses in Legal Malpractice Cases," from 10:20 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday, February 29, 2012.

Expert testimony is routine—and in many instances, mandatory—in legal malpractice trials and summary judgment motions filed in such cases. This panel of experienced trial lawyers will review significant court decisions and discuss when expert witnesses are and are not qualified, how to avoid and challenge speculative testimony, what can (and cannot) an expert testify to on causation, and how to best structure an experts testimony.

This panel is part of the Legal Malpractice series of topics of the LMRM Conference.

Other Legal Malpractice Topics include:

• On the Horizon: Developing Areas of Lawyer Exposure
• The Lesser Known Affirmative Defenses
• The Plaintiff's Lost or Impaired Remedy: Issue of Proof Regarding Collectibility
• The Significant New Decisions Affecting Litigation Attorneys
• Insurance Law: Significant Decisions of the Past Year
