Developing compelling opening statements. Analyzing case evidence. Presenting persuasive oral arguments. Mastering these abilities (along with numerous others) can elevate a lawyer to exceptional advocate status. The LLM program in Trial Advocacy, Appellate Advocacy, and Alternative Dispute Resolution caters to practicing attorneys shifting their focus toward litigation or conflict resolution, as well as new graduates aiming to refine skills acquired during their JD or similar legal education. Your curriculum blends theoretical instruction, expert demonstrations, and practical student exercises. You'll acquire hands-on experience through mock depositions, simulated trials, appellate arguments, arbitration scenarios, and mediation sessions. The program comprehensively addresses all three dispute resolution disciplines.
