This course teaches a case theory-centered approach to trial, providing practical guidance to help attorneys hone their trial skills. Individual lessons cover every segment of a trial, from opening statements to closing arguments. Lessons are designed to be standalone segments, so participants can take them all or select among them. Participants will gain insight into core trial advocacy concepts like developing case theory and themes, eliciting testimony that supports that case theory, and how to present a compelling narrative that factfinders in the courtroom will follow. This course is recommended both for attorneys with little trial experience, and more experienced attorneys looking to sharpen their trial skills.
- Develop your case globally, guided by a clear case theory and compelling themes.
- Develop and deliver a persuasive opening statement and closing argument.
- Present and cross-examine witnesses using a goal-oriented approach in support of your case theory.
- Use exhibits in all segments of trial to reinforce your narrative.
- Use objections to defeat improper questions and exclude inadmissible evidence.
