Develop a confident, professional courtroom presence by exploring every aspect of trial and hearing work. LESA’s Intensive Advocacy course is an intense, learn-by-doing program that offers an incomparable opportunity to develop skills as an advocate.
This course couples continual performance with rich performance feedback. With the aid of brief faculty lectures and faculty demonstrations, attendees perform drills and exercises designed to hone critical advocacy skills. Participants focus on four key competencies designed to help them develop and perfect their advocacy skills: (1) case analysis, (2) storytelling, (3) evidence, and (4) courtroom decorum. On the final day of the course, participants integrate these competencies in a simulated trial or hearing.
What past participants are saying about this course:
“The course is extremely comprehensive and allowed for significant improvement of my advocacy skills.” ~ 2025 Participant
“We rarely get opportunities for practical learning and this course allowed me to build skills in a practical environment, with greatfeedback. The environment is low stakes so it was a perfect place to learn.” ~2025 Participant
“While it is ‘intense’, the value of the course is found in being able to go through each part of a trial, learn how to do it, and then get some practical experience doing it. Especially in my world, civil litigation, where we so rarely get a chance to go to trial and practice these skills, it is an invaluable course.” ~2025 Participant
This program has limited enrolment.
