Trial Tactics and Techniques – A View from Both Sides of the Bench on How to Effectively Present Your Case to Any Audience
With the decline in jury trials, it has become more and more difficult for attorneys to obtain trial experience early in their careers. During this program, attendees will get a peek behind the curtain and learn from those on both sides of the bench (experienced litigators and experienced judges) who will give tips and techniques on presenting your case to any audience, including discussing how style and strategy may differ depending on the audience, how to prepare a strong opening statement and closing argument, and how to handle witnesses.
