The MSBA's Criminal Law Section along with Hamline
University School of Law Present
"Criminal Law Trial School"
Whether you are a prosecutor or defense counsel, new lawyer or old pro, private practitioner or public defender, trial advocacy in the criminal world is often the most exciting – and stressful – part of our practice. That makes sharpening your trial advocacy skills a must for any successful criminal lawyer.
This day-long trial school will cover the basics of successful courtroom advocacy, while also covering strategies and tips from the best criminal trial lawyers, including defense lawyers from Joe Friedberg to prosecutors like Washington County Attorney Pete Orput, to high profile National Jury Selection Experts like Robert Hirschhorn. This rare program will give you what you need to know to be a successful trial lawyer from the best in the business.
The trial school will feature presentations on the important steps in trial preparation, the crucial keys to selecting a jury, how to deliver an effective opening and closing argument, the basics and strategy of direct and cross examination of witnesses, and how to advocate for your client at sentencing, should things not go the way you planned. The Section has also planned the program to feature an interactive session with defense attorney Joe Friedberg and county attorney Pete Orput, who have battled before in the courtroom.
