The annual WSBA Trial Advocacy Program offers a two-day trial-skills training from seasoned trial lawyers followed two weeks later by a one-day mock trial. This seminar is designed for attorneys working in the criminal or civil arena with little to no trial experience but a strong desire to become effective trial lawyers. Past participants commented that the seminar was "completely engaging and thought-provoking" and "entertaining, real-world skill development that every new lawyer should attend."
Topics in the seminar include:
- Trial Ethics
- Trial Notebook and Organization
- Objections and Motions in Limine
- Voir Dire
- Opening and Closing Statements
- Direct and Cross Examinations
