    Product Description

    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 workshop, 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. This workshop is offered exclusively in-person in Boston so you can take advantage of the unique 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.

    OnlinePass Subscribers: Use your PLUS 1 benefit to attend this in-person only workshop by contacting our Customer Service Team at 800-966-6253.
