Ultimate Trial Advocacy College

I am attending the final rung of the ladder I have been climbing for the past few years.  I am attempting to become a Diplomate with the American Association of Justice and complete the Advanced Studies in Trial Advocacy course before my 46th birthday.  (next month!)

The effort has numerous requirements and this is one.

I will be in Washington DC at the George Washington University Law School from March 1 to the 6th participating in the Ultimate Trial Advocacy College: Art of Persuasion.

 

About The Program


Designed for experienced trial lawyers who want to improve their communication skills, the Ultimate is a unique experience—with an emphasis on developing lawyers’ personal communication and persuasiveness in dealing with juries. You’ll be questioned, challenged, and scrutinized by trial-toughened lawyers, trial consultants, and communications experts. This course will teach you how to form relationships with the jury, use demonstrative evidence effectively, and counter negative juror perceptions. Put classroom theory into practice in small workshops and gain confidence as your powers of persuasion increase.

A new overflow resort, The Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa – a Wyndham Grand Resort, has been added to accommodate attendees.
