This unique methodology developed at Stanford Law School, focuses on initial interview with the client and the direct and cross examination. The participants are able to stop the proceedings to see how different choices produce different outcomes. Similar to the deposition practice sessions held in October, each attorney commits to a two hour bock of time in a workshop setting. In these sessions participants have the opportunity to practice and receive consultation on the case to be used during Litigation day. Working in small groups, you can receive the individual attention necessary to prepare yourself for the Litigation Day workshop which will be held in March.
All participants travel to Atlanta for a morning hands on workshop.
Attorneys are divided into groups of four to conduct two mock trials in front of one or two partners. Each attorney serves once as a witness and once as an attorney. The partners provide feedback to each attorney. The day concludes by viewing a live trial demonstration by four partners. The trial uses the same case and is presented before a volunteer jury.
