Our Litigation Skills Series: Trial Advocacy training uses lecture, demonstration, and small-group sessions to teach the basics of opening statements, closing arguments, direct and cross examinations, impeachment, using documents—and more. It's two days full of training, provided by top-notch trial lawyers, and featuring lots of individual attention and feedback.

For Washington Council of Lawyers members, the cost is just $85. For non-members, the cost is $125 for public interest and government lawyers, and $175 for those in the private sector. (Join Washington Council of Lawyers to take advantage of the discounted member tuition.) The cost includes lunch on both days.

In additional to phenomenal lectures, useful demonstrations and constructive breakout sessions, we are pleased to feature the Honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson, United States District Judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Scholarships are available due to the generosity of the D.C. Bar Foundation; please email our Executive Director, Nancy Lopez, for information on how to apply.
