IN PERSON WORKSHOP

Knowing when to make objections, and how to support and oppose them, is a vital courtroom skill. Equally important is knowing when to keep silent. In this program, expert litigators teach you not only how to understand the proper grounds for making objections—and how to effectively argue and oppose them—but also how to decide when it is in your best interests to do so. Attend this workshop in-person in Boston to take advantage of the exclusive opportunity to test your knowledge in a mock courtroom setting, where you can try out the skills you have learned and get essential feedback on your performance.
