CCCBA’s Learning by Doing 3 Day Trial Practice Course
The CCCBA Education Committee and the CCCBA Litigation Section took educational programming at CCCBA in a new and exciting direction.
On March 9, 10 & 11, CCCBA held an in-person, intensive, immersive, interactive and on-your-feet trial skills practicum which culminated in three mock jury trials.
Under the guidance of program designer Jonathan Lee and his co-lead instructors Adam Carlson and Comm. Lowell Richards(Ret.), and a faculty of distinguished trial lawyers and jurists, 16 participants were taught, in simple, straightforward ways, the preparation needed to take a case to trial: from voir dire all the way to closing argument.
Everyone stepped beyond their comfort zone and excelled! Participant Fulvio A. Picerno captured the sentiment of all the participants when he said, “This was one of the best legal education courses I have ever taken.”
We can’t wait to do this again for our members! – STAY TUNED!
