Advanced Trial Advocacy Program
2027-02-28 - 2027-03-03 | –, Virginia Beach, VA

This program is intended for prosecutors who have not attended the Trial Advocacy Program but also have 3-5 years of experience and have done several jury trials. This program will provide approximately 12 CLE hours. Instead of a case study being provided to students, attendees will be required to each bring one of their own cases to work from throughout the program using it for discussions, cross examinations, and closing arguments. Lectures will cover analytical advocacy as well as all phases of a jury trial from voir dire to closing argument, preserving the record, and admitting various kinds of evidence. There will be small group case discussions and student performances.
This program will be held in Virginia Beach. Attendance is limited to 30 students. Breakfast and lunch will be provided and dinner will be reimbursed per CASC policy. Lodging will be provided to attendees whose home is 25 miles or more from the venue. Travel to and from the training is not covered.
