Description
The ABA Section of Family Law's Trial Advocacy Institute is the premier trial training program for family law practitioners. Now in its 23rd year, this sell-out program has given nearly 1,000 attorneys the most rewarding trial experience of their career.
Small group sections provide both the beginning and the seasoned attorney with individualized trial training. Videotape review of each day's exercises and immediate feedback from leading national authorities on advocacy and Family Law allow for extensive participatory experiences. Special workshops are presented on Evidence and Business valuation.
The Trial Advocacy Institute consists of an entire week of intensive training. A complete program schedule (subject to change) is available on the event website. Standard programming includes Direct and Cross Examination, Use of Psychological Testing, Examination of Financial Experts, Business Valuation Advocacy, and a complete trial. A combination of lecture, demonstration, exercise and video review are used in instruction.
Additional Information
Enrollment is limited to 48 attorneys, providing a ratio of one faculty member to every four students within the small working groups. The communication and interaction between students and faculty members made possible by limited enrollment results in a tremendous learning environment. The program sells out every year and many applicants are wait-listed.
Accreditation is requested for this program from every state with MCLE requirements. Lawyers seeking credit in Pennsylvania and Louisiana must submit a certificate and pay fees directly to those states. The Trial Advocacy Institute course contains approximately 45 CLE credits and 1 hour ethics (based on a 60-minute hour scale).
