Law, Advocacy & Public Persuasion II

2 Credit Hours

This course is an advanced workshop in public advocacy. It broadens and deepens the skills learned in Law, Advocacy & Public Persuasion I, focusing on improvement of the persuasive abilities of its participants in a series of challenging public settings. The emphasis will be on the targeted, hands-on application of persuasive tools -- both in content development and especially in content delivery -- within a series of predominantly "informal" legal, business, policymaking and leadership scenarios, including board and panel presentations, hostile questioning & related Q&A availabilities, organizational meetings and town halls, and contemporary public thought-leadership settings. The course operates in a workshop format, and feedback is frequent, plentiful and personalized.
