As a participant in Building Trial Skills you will use NITA’s learning-by-doing method to practice and perfect your skills in the challenging arts of trial advocacy and persuasion. In a simulated trial setting you will be performing:

·          Opening statements and closing arguments

·          Impeachment

·          Direct & cross examinations

·          Expert witness examinations

·          Communication Skills: Thinking on your feet

Following your live and videotaped performances you will be given feedback and critique from the renowned NITA faculty. To conclude the program you will execute a full jury trial, getting to watch real jurors deliberate via closed circuit TV then have a chance to ask them questions and hear their feedback.

Whether you are a recent graduate or a seasoned professional, Building Trial Skills will change the way you approach trials, improving your performance exponentially.
