“Mastery in Trial A Trial Advocacy
Course By Harry Karanja, DTM
INTRODUCTION
How well do you communicate your client’s legal position in court?
The success of your case depends in large part on how well you communicate – during court mentions and hearings. The effects of a poor trial presentation can be lasting and expensive for your client.
On the other hand, good trial advocates tend to secure their client’s interest however weak their case is, and everyone benefits from the best possible legal representation.
BENEFITS
This is where the Mastery in Trial Class can help. Over 4 weeks, this class will transform you into a confident, well-articulated trial advocate who can communicate effectively in oral submissions, examination of witnesses, arguing of applications, and any other court session that requires persuasive trial advocacy.
The Mastery in Trial Class focuses on imparting trial advocacy skills for court representations. This in turn fosters growth of confidence among the participants. Participants will learn to:
- Draft and argue high quality oral applications
- Persuasively present or impeach evidence during trial
- Effectively present favourable analysis of legal issues in submissions
