Brief Overview: Complex cases require good lawyering with a cohesive and compelling package from jury selection through to closing arguments. This 2.5-day Trial Advocacy course moves past developing initial courtroom skills and takes the trial prosecutor from “good” to “great.” Faculty members are amongst the most experienced Indiana has to offer, and instruction will be beyond the basics. The fact pattern does not require any specialized knowledge. Participants will be required to attend and complete all portions of the course to receive CLE credit. NO partial CLE credit will be given.
Experience in 10 or more jury trials is recommended OR prior attendance at a TA 1 in order to attend this course.
