Evidence Advocacy (C. Dent*n)

This course focuses upon the courtroom application of evidentiary rules and principles. Students will prepare and present opening statements, direct and cross examination, documentary and demonstrative evidence, and closing arguments. The format will be hands-on and participatory, and the emphasis will be on learning practical techniques for shaping the evidence, using the law, and exploiting the courtroom to create a coherent and convincing case theory. All performances will be videotaped and the course will culminate in a half-day jury trial.
