The Institute offers information that will increase your knowledge and exercises that will increase your skills. Topics covered include development of theories and themes, opening statement and closing argument, direct and cross examination, jury selection and attorney-client relationships. The format is a learn-by-doing method, emphasizing extensive participant performance with immediate feedback. Small groups work utilizing participants actual cases. The format also includes presentations, demonstrations, group discussions and coaching. The seminar will be accredited for 28.0 CLE hours, plus 2.0 ethics hours. This year, a TPI preparation session has been added in which participants will brainstorm pretrial investigation and litigation with faculty and group members prior to the four-day workshop. This allows each participant to develop an investigation plan for his or her case. Advanced Trial Lawyer Track In a marathon, the runner has a different perspective than the spectator. The only way we truly understand the runner and the spectator is not by imposing our own understanding, but instead by knowing their story from the inside out. From that understanding there will come a place of connection. For those who want to take on the challenge of raising their trial game to the next level, there is an option for you. This track is intended for attorneys who have experience trying cases and/or have previously attended a trial practice institute. It is intended to be an advanced course as it supplements necessary trial skills. The goal of the trial is always to engage the listener in the story such that it becomes the listener s story, the juror s story. The focus of this group will be to mindfully discover and effectively present the overall story from the inside out. The story of our client, the story of each witness and the story that will connect and empower the jurors to join our cause, be part of our team, and advocate for our client throughout the trial and in deliberations. This is not designed for those who want to know how to as much as for those who want to know why to, the reason you want to become a great Trial Lawyer. Participants must commit to attend all sessions for four days. CURRICULUM INCLUDES Communicating effectively in the courtroom with the jury, judge, and witnesses. Themes & Theories Chapter Method Persuasion Ethics Voir Dire Opening Statements & Closing Arguments Direct Exam, Cross-Exam, and Impeachment MEALS Pastries, bagels, fruit and beverages in the morning, catered lunches and afternoon breaks are provided for four days by IPDC.
