Described by participants as “the best seminar I have attended”, this non-capital course is designed for defense lawyers who already have some trial experience or are looking to develop and hone their trial skills. The program focuses on trial skills (voir dire, opening statements, direct examination, cross examination and closing arguments) and trial law (evidence, protecting the record, ethics and the court's charge).
This course will feature lectures, demonstrations, and small group workshops – a faculty of experienced Texas trial attorneys, and attendees will have the opportunity to practice voir dire, conduct direct & cross, and give opening and closing statements. Attendees of all experience levels will find something concrete to take to their next trial.
This course is funded by a grant from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
Who Should Attend?
With the exception of invited faculty, attendance is limited to 60 Texas criminal defense attorneys. Courtroom attire is required.
