Art of Trial and Advocacy

Esteemed trial lawyer, Christopher O'Donnell, provides important information regarding trial and advocacy in this course. He clearly explains the basics of conducting a trial for automotive personal injury cases, noting how many of the principles mentioned can be universally applied to other legal fields.

The course moves from the beginning stages of trial, such as preparing the client and legal team to strategies for direct and cross-examination on both sides of defense and prosecution. He places emphasis on depositions, as many lawyers have limited knowledge about this important process. He also explains how states have different laws that each lawyer needs to be cognizant of during preparation and trial.

This course elucidates the often delicate and complex nature of trial and advocacy in a relevant, engaging way.
