B722 Trial Advocacy

Description Trial Advocacy is one of the core courses in the litigation curriculum. It covers the techniques, tactics and performance aspects of the trial, including opening statements, direct and cross-examination, exhibits, experts, and closing arguments. Students learn by doing, with every student performing every week. In lieu of a final exam, students conduct a full trial. Trial Advocacy is the second course in the trial practice sequence. Evidence is taken first, and is a prerequisite to Trial Advocacy. Trial Advocacy is taken second, and is a prerequisite to Advanced Trial Practice and Trial Competition. Trial Advocacy is also useful as preparation for clinical courses that involve litigation, such as Community Legal Clinic. Trial advocacy is taught by experienced trial lawyers and judges. Please note that in addition to the sections managed by each of the respective instructors on Tuesday, the students from all sections will meet on Tuesdays at 7:35 for a one hour lecture.

Note This course satisfies the professional skills requirement.
