Course Description
It’s every litigator’s worst nightmare. Worse than appearing before a court sans-trousers.
Being on the receiving end of a harsh rebuke from a judge does not end up on too many
lawyer’s “Top 10 Fondest Memories” list. That being said, there is a lot to learn about
oral argument from bench slaps. We look at some of the worst bench slaps, analyze why
the slap occurred, and most importantly, how you can avoid it happening to you!

How to Register with Zoom
Log in to your Comedian of Law account
Click on "My Courses" in the left hand blue column.
Click on the webinar you wish to register for from your list of “Purchased CLE Programs”.
Fill out the short Zoom registration sheet and click on "Register" to complete.
You will then receive an email from Zoom, which will have your personal link to access the webinar.
Important Information Regarding Registration
Do not wait until 2 minutes before the webinar to register with Zoom if possible, as you cannot log in until you get the email from Zoom and while email is usually instantaneous, we all know that isn’t always the case.
You must be watching the webinar in order to get credit. Most states accredit webinars differently than other formats and in order to get webinar credit, you must be watching, not just listening using the audio only link.
There will be poll questions every hour, as many states require them. If you don’t answer the poll question and your state requires them, we can’t award credit for that hour. The poll questions are NOT obscure, as Joel always announces them before he runs them, and he reads them out loud. If your state requires you answer them, please don’t miss them. Please note that you will not be able to answer poll questions if you are using an audio only link, which is another reason you need to be WATCHING (not just listening to audio only version) the video presentation.

How to Get Credit for the Webinar
All webinar certificates are done by hand, so you will not get them when the webinar is over. We have to cross reference your log in and log out times and your poll questions to figure out how much credit you earned.
You will receive your certificate of attendance within a week of the webinar and it will be sent to the email address you used when you registered for the webinar.
Comedian of Law will report to all states that are provider report states. If your state is a self-reporting state, we will not (like FL, IA or MO for example). Hours are usually reported right before certificates of attendance are sent, but the email you receive will explain.
