While most criminal cases are resolved via plea bargain, it is imperative to understand the ins-and-outs of the District Court trial session. This seminar guides you through the major aspects of a trial-from motions in limine to closing arguments. The panel of trial attorneys and a District Court judge present the case and you act as jury.
Unlike the jury, you have the opportunity to ask questions after the verdict! Case theory, witness preparation, and strategy are all open for discussion. Find out how experienced trial attorneys prepare their case for trial starting with the day of arraignment.
