Federal employees have several appeal forums available when they want to challenge an agency action. And agency officials without a formal legal education are often called upon to represent the agency in these forums.

Why worry about the pre-hearing process?

Because even though the hearing gets all the attention, most cases are already won or lost at the pre-hearing conference.

In this 90-minute audio conference, William B. Wiley, Esq., provides the foundation for how to approach -- and succeed in -- the pre-hearing process. You'll get the guidance you need to avoid the usual pre-hearing mistakes, such as failing to prepare your agency's witnesses for being deposed.

Plus, Mr. Wiley explains the litigation process, discovery tools available to aid the process, and witness preparation. You'll get expert advice on:

• How to use interrogatories effectively to obtain information and documents
• How, why and why not to take a deposition
• How to defend federal employees who are being deposed
• And much more

This audio conference is a must for any individual who may have to represent their agency in administrative hearings before the EEOC, MSPB, FLRA, or in arbitration.
