As you look through the article, note how many schools on this list have strong trial advocacy programs. Is there a connection? I'm willing to bet there is.

This blog is for everyone -however they serve our legal system - who is committed to improving the teaching of advocacy skills and ethics so that parties and the community are well served by persuasive and ethical advocates.
