This comprehensive program is designed for litigators seeking to hone their advocacy skills and effectiveness in jury trials.
Combining practical strategies with insights from psychology and communication theory, the program explores every stage of the jury trial process—from file organization and trial preparation through to preliminary matters and the conduct of the trial itself.
You will gain the tools and skills to organize their files, craft persuasive case theories, connect authentically with jurors, and navigate the procedural and ethical challenges unique to Canadian jury advocacy. The course will also highlight best practices for preventing procedural errors and avoiding mistrials.
