Trial Skills Training & Workshop Get ready to hear favorite strategies from some of the country’s best trial lawyers—an unparalleled opportunity to quickly expand your skill set with easy to understand and effective practice tips.
Practical Tips and Demonstrations. This year’s morning session will consist of short presentations, quick tips, and demos that will help you get ready for and to excel in Voir Dire, Motion Hearings and Trials. Whether you are a beginner or a master of the craft you will learn techniques you can use.
Trial Skills Workshop. After lunch we will divide into break-out groups to work on courtroom skills incorporating some of the things learned in the above presentations. Some groups will focus on learning the basic skills and other, more experienced groups, will focus on honing those skills and will be exposed to new ideas for taking it to a higher level. The groups will be small and based upon experience and training levels, which you will “self-select.” Groups will range from groups made up of relatively new lawyers and at least one group of highly experienced lawyers, with groups with experience levels in between.
