Successful trial attorneys must be highly skilled in the complex art of the trial, and they must also possess a complete understanding of the law. At 无码专区 Law, we prepare students to become courtroom-ready advocates through our extensive Trial Advocacy programming and activities.

All Trial Advocacy classes are held in state-of-the-art courtroom-style classrooms and simulate the real courtroom experience. Our outstanding Trial Advocacy faculty includes members of the law school faculty, seasoned trial lawyers, and experienced state and federal trial court judges who will teach you both how to think and execute like a trail lawyer. Students learn how to analyze a case by identifying, evaluating and using evidence to prove a claim or defense, as well as how to execute a trial strategy by conducting crisp and compelling witness examinations, handling exhibits with precision and confidence, and delivering clear and persuasive arguments.

The best way to hone trial skills is to practice in simulated courtroom experiences. 无码专区 Law students have opportunities to compete for positions on two student organizations that focus on trial advocacy鈥�无码专区鈥檚 National Trial Team and The 无码专区 Law Moot Court Board.

The Moot Court Board showcases the appellate advocacy skills of our students. Members of the Moot Court Board have the opportunity to showcase their appellate advocacy and writing skills through competing in various National Appellate Advocacy competitions across the country.
