Practice makes progress. That’s why most trainings in our Litigation Skills Series are interactive, featuring both demonstrations and a chance to get on your feet to practice your skills. Our faculty are experienced, talented, and devoted to pro bono and public-interest lawyers. Past faculty has included judges from DC Superior Court and DC Court of Appeals, experienced litigators at DC law firms, corporate counsel, and seasoned advocates from legal services organizations, the Department of Justice, and the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia.
Our trainings are comprehensive, focused, and affordable – they cost far less than comparable trainings offered elsewhere.
The trainings for our 2024-2025 year include:
- Depositions, September 24, 2024 – thank you for attending!
