Untold Stories (Morning Sessions)

No one has heard all of the stories from Woburn, and most people have heard only the one told by Jonathan Harr. In three morning sessions, conference participants will have the opportunity to hear stories that have largely gone untold. In concurrent small-group sessions, the afternoon panelists will tell the stories of their involvement with the case. Conference participants will be able to pick among the offerings and attend three different session. (All sessions will be recorded and made available on the internet.)

Lessons from Woburn: Panel Discussion (Afternoon Session)

Never have the case's principals joined together to discuss the trial and its aftermath. Join many of those who were closest to the case and those who brought the case to the public's attention for a moderated discussion. A broad range of topics—from bifurcation to the relationship between the movie and the actual events will be covered.

Teaching from Woburn: Panel and Group Discussion (Afternoon Session)

A Civil Action has been adopted in law schools, colleges and a variety of graduate schools across the country. In many cases—most notably in the teaching of civil procedure—the book is transforming the way entire classes are taught. Hear how A Civil Action has been used in classrooms across the country, and share your own stories. This panel will emphasize effective ways to use the book in the classroom. Teaching resources related to A Civil Action will be discussed.
