Trial Advocacy Training
The Barristers Society will provide education and training on trial advocacy, lawyering skills, and legal knowledge, as well as mentorship to law students and new attorneys who seek help cultivating purposeful career paths. Our trial advocacy programs will include opportunities to practice and develop trial skills through practical hands-on training and critique and also opportunities to provide pro bono representation with experienced trial attorneys.
Our education and training programs will focus on practice areas that include criminal defense, personal injury, and civil rights litigation on behalf of individuals.
Our goal is to provide legal advocates with skills to effectively confront and address racial and socioeconomic disparities within the criminal and civil justice system to allow individuals from marginalized communities greater and fairer access to the legal system.
Our training will cover all aspects of being a committed, conscientious, and capable trial lawyer, including law office management, ethics and professionalism, and all aspects of civil and criminal trial work.
