The Hanley Advanced Advocacy Program is specifically designed for practitioners with trial experience. Working in trial teams, alongside experienced NITA trial lawyers and jury consultants from across the country you will:
- Use cutting-edge focus group techniques and data as a tool for case planning
- Identify the problems associated with your case, solve those problems through analysis of actual focus group data, and develop a plan of action for trial using this data
- Prepare and perform opening statements, direct/cross examinations of fact and expert witness (including actual forensic economic witnesses) and closing arguments
- Meet with faculty members and communications consultants for customized, individual critiques of your numerous live and videotaped performances
The program concludes with a full jury trial where you get to watch the jury deliberate via closed circuit TV then have a chance to ask jurors questions and hear their feedback.
