The Trial Advocacy Program at American University Washington College of Law ("WCL") is offering a Litigation Skills Summer Institute designed for both practitioners (CLE) and qualified law students (credit_ interested in mastering litigation skills. The flexible two week program consists of three courses and a cutting-edge Digital Presentations Workshop. The courses are offered on nights and weekends and participants may take one, two or all offerings.

Depositions: Two separate intensive courses that include short lectures and
demonstrations by faculty on how to prepare for, take, and defend depositions
followed by in-class depositions by participants and webcast review. (1 credit each)
Civil Trial Advocacy: Participants
learn how to prepare and conduct direct and cross-examinations, deliver
effective opening statements and closing arguments, make timely objections, and
lay the proper foundation to admit evidence during the course of a trial,
concluding with a full mock trial before a sitting judge and citizen jurors. (2 credits)
Digital Presentations
Workshop: A workshop that includes instruction on effective ways to
incorporate digital presentations in opening statements, direct examinations,
and closing arguments followed by in-class presentations by participants with
individualized critiques by faculty.
