SUMMARY:Concurrent session - The importance of written advocacy in disput
 e resolution: mastering the art of drafting pleadings and witness statem
 ents
DESCRIPTION:What happens to a dispute after arguments are concluded? Do\n
 judges read everything? Do words matter? What about grammar?\nDo judges 
 render judgments quickly or only after carefully\nexamining the entire r
 ecord and hundreds of pages to make up\ntheir own minds? Or should they 
 depend only on what they have\nheard in court from counsel? How importan
 t are written pleadings\nand drafting?\nA high court judge will explore 
 the above questions and consider\nand explain the realities of judgment 
 writing after a long day of\nhearings. What do judges look for on the re
 cord and in pleadings?\nHow much research is done when insufficient case
  law is provided\nby arguing counsels and their facilitators or advocate
 s-on-record?\nOther members of the panel will examine assumptions about 
 their\npleadings\, submissions and the risk of unplanned admissions.
