Trial Skills 2013 Promises the Best of Trial Advocacy

Preparing a case for trial is much like preparing a canvas for a portrait. At first, you need to properly decide the theme of the portrait. Next, you need to decide the medium to be used. What story will the portrait tell the jury? How will the jury respond to the final product? 

Join us for Trial Skills 2013 this Friday, April 12 from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, and you will learn from some of the most talented artists in our field. The course will be structured as if it were a trial. We will take you from creating your theme to voir dire, client preparation, opening statement, motivational demonstrative evidence, effective cross-examination, choosing jury instructions, closing statements and preserving issues for appeal. No matter how many trials you have participated in, this CLE offers everyone the chance to perfect his craft.

Time is running out. Reserve your seat today. See below for registration links.
