Join us for three educational days of Trial Advocacy from Wednesday, May 6 to Friday, May 8. We are sticking with the hybrid format! The first and third days will be virtual, the second day will be fully in person.
Brief Schedule Outline:Wednesday, May 6 Virtual; 11:00 am - 1:30 pm
Thursday, May 7 Arnold & Porter (601 Mass Ave NW); 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

We will focus on the four fundamental trial skills: Opening Statements, Direct Examinations, Cross-Examinations, and Closing Arguments. Each topic will begin with a lecture by an expert trainer and a demonstration by skilled litigators showing how to put the lesson into practice. Then, we will move to small group breakout rooms where each attendee will get up and practice the skill of the day. Breakout room facilitators will offer individualized, constructive feedback to each participant. Attendees should plan to spend some time between each session to prepare for the on-your-feet breakout sessions.
Our fact pattern features a Domestic Relations case, but you need not know anything about substantive law in this area to benefit from the training.
