He served as the Howrey Professor of Trial Advocacy at George Washington University National Law Center and as a faculty member of the Harvard Law School Trial Advocacy Workshop.

Conference attendees will have the chance to meet Mauet at a cocktail reception on Friday evening before attending Saturday seminars covering such topics as general and special relevance,
character traits, exceptions in statements and records, witness competency; hearsay exceptions, direct examination, seven methods of impeachment, cross examination and rehabilitation.

The registration deadline is July 18.
