Product Description
Product Description
Five intense days of personalized training provide you with fundamental courtroom skills from several venerable judges and a roster of experienced practitioners. This intense, rigorous, and challenging Workshop—as many of the state’s best trial lawyers attest—is vital for eager trial attorneys entering the practice.
Spend five days “on your feet,” arguing, questioning, and developing your skills in a mock trial setting. From opening statements to closing arguments, direct and cross examinations, expert witnesses and eyewitnesses, you improve your trial techniques under the close scrutiny of trial judges and leading attorneys. Most of your trial performance is videotaped, so you can watch yourself in action throughout the day and receive constructive feedback from multiple faculty members, including judges. The tips, videos, demonstrations, lectures, and group discussions throughout the Workshop culminate with a full jury trial on the final day. After your performance, you watch via closed-circuit TV as the jury deliberates before the verdict is delivered.
This Workshop is your chance to hear what the mock jury thought of your skills and your courtroom demeanor. Supportive critique continues even after the trial as the presiding judge gives you unique, personalized feedback on your effectiveness. You emerge with well-honed trial skills and the ability to face your first—or next—jury trial with confidence. This Workshop features over two dozen distinguished trial court judges and lawyers who share their deep knowledge of trial practice, along with their supportive and encouraging critique, as your personal mentors throughout the week. Networking opportunities continue at the closing reception, with both students and faculty attending. You leave this Workshop with a sense of accomplishment along with stronger confidence in your new-found trial practice skills.
