Intensive Trial Advocacy

3.0 credits · LA

Each major segment of a trial will be explored opening statement, direct examination, cross examination, objections, impeachment, use of exhibits and visuals, and closing argument culminating in a trial. The emphasis for this trial advocacy program will be on learning by doing in a simulated courtroom setting, from a prepared trial case record, with constructive faculty critique. Each segment will include demonstrations, doing, and critique.
