Advanced Trial Advocacy

Catalog description

The course will be taught in a clinical model. Each week, students will be required to perform and develop some mastery of the various aspects of a trial including opening statements, direct examination, handling exhibits, cross examination, summations, motions in limine, objections, and witness preparation. The course will be a step up from the basic trial techniques course (which is a prerequisite to this course). Students will focus their attention on a multi-party litigation and will even have the opportunity to work with real expert witnesses in a courtroom setting.
