This course will explain many of the pitfalls and limitations of interpretation throughout our judicial system and then illuminate some of the most common iss... More Info

  • Making the Most of Mock Trials

    Mock trials can be useful to determine whether and where your client's case and legal theories has strengths and weaknesses.

Rather, mock trials are learning tools from which you can gather further strategic and analytic insight, as well as informing you and y... More Info
