Do you know what to do if you have to testify in court? Are you prepared? Do you know what to say? What not to say? Going to court for the first time is always “a learning experience.” You rarely have a second chance to make a first impression. Here is your opportunity to get it right the first time. Learn from an MSW (Jud Morris, U-M SSW ’71) with several court appearances.

Guest speakers, engaging activities, and small group discussion will help attendees understand the myths and realities of Jewish wealth and identify antisemitic stereotypes related to money.
