MoreThe Audubon Chapter of the
Kentucky Association of Professional Surveyors (KAPS) will host a mock trial
and land surveyor in court seminar in Owensboro, Ky., on Nov. 9. Led by Jeffery
N. Lucas, PLS, Esq., the mock trial will be based on the real-life case
of Dowdell v. Cotham (Tenn.App.2007). Volunteers from the
audience will be asked to play the roles of attorneys, landowners, lay witness
and expert land surveyor witnesses; other members of the audience will
participate as jurors. The program is designed so that all attendees are
involved in the trial. The session will include a general discussion of the
case as well as the actions of the attorneys and witnesses. A presentation of
the land surveyor’s role in the courtroom and a general discussion on the rules
of evidence and civil procedure will follow if time permits. This seminar is
designed to demystify the litigation process and explain the rules of
engagement that will be used in court.
The cost to attend is $160 for KAPS members and $260 for nonmembers. For more information or to register, email mforrest@kaps1.com or visit www.kaps1.com/events/seminars/.
