Mock Trial of a Civil Case

Although civil trials often settle before trial and are vanishing, the Zoom trial is becoming something that seems more likely. Successful litigators must be well-versed in trial techniques and strategy for those cases that make it to trial, especially when the trial may be entirely online.

This innovative program offers a look at a Zoom trial of a motor vehicle-pedestrian case that was actually done over Zoom, as presented by trial lawyers and presided over by a Massachusetts Judge in front of a panel of jurors. From sidebar conferences to closing arguments, these experienced panelists, including the attorneys who tried the case and the judge who heard it, provide practical and graphic demonstrations of the various aspects of a Zoom trial-and share their secrets for courtroom success. Watch the faculty recreate portions of their recent trial, then provide a brief commentary.

Whether you are preparing for your first trial or interested in seeing how a Zoom trial runs, this seminar offers today’s trial lawyers tips to efficiently and effectively try a case to a successful conclusion. Learn, watch, and discover effective courtroom advocacy. You hear first-hand from the Judge what styles, techniques, and strategies were persuasive and effective online.
