Course Description
|
This comprehensive and rigorous trial training program offers students a unique opportunity to develop fundamental skills for trial practice. This is achieved through intensive classroom exercises and simulated courtroom exercises under adjunct faculty members who are experienced trial lawyers and judges. The entire class meets together for two hours on Mondays, where program faculty and invited guests present "Lecture/Demonstrations" on specific courtroom trial techniques. Students also meet in smaller Trial and Pretrial sections each week. These are separately graded sections for which students must register simultaneously. Litigation Skills I is a prerequisite for both Litigation Skills II and Litigation Skills Externship Program. It counts as one workshop. Students wishing to register for Litigation Skills I must complete and submit the On-Line Registration Form. Registration for Litigation Skills I will be held during a separate registration period. Students who register for Litigation Skills I will register for both: * LAW 780Litigation Skills I Pretrial 3 credits * LAW 880Litigation Skills I Trial 3 credits Sections of 8 (morning sections) or 12 (evening sections) meet twice weekly with faculty members in addition to the entire class meeting weekly on Monday with the Program Director. Each student performs exercises each week and prepares for and participates in two simulated trials as a member of a two-person team. These trials and the entire course of instruction is outlined in the Litigation Skills I Syllabus.
