Young Litigator's Practicum 2019
We are holding a day-long Continuing Legal Education event at the law school focused on teaching practical litigation skills to younger attorneys and law students: a practicum.
The Review is inviting practitioners, judges, consultants, and professors to speak on a variety of topics imperative to a young lawyer’s success at the office, in the deposition room, and in the courtroom. Presentation topics may include: arguing motions before the court; undertaking voir dire; conducting depositions; understanding integral procedural rules; and working with clients. This focused practicum seeks to teach the necessary nuts and bolts of civil litigation with an emphasis on the issues young litigators will encounter during their early years in practice.
