The Premiere Thrill: Building Your Litigation Skills
Primerus is launching the groundbreaking three-day Trial Skills Academy, designed to elevate litigation expertise through 10 dynamic virtual webinars covering jury selection, opening statements, evidence presentation, objections, direct and cross-examinations, trial motions, and closing arguments. This expert-led training culminates in September with exciting, in-person mock trials, where one attorney from each registered firm will step into the courtroom to put their skills to the test and receive personalized feedback for future success. Registration is by law firm, providing all attorneys access to live and recorded sessions, with one attorney selected to participate in the final mock trials. Don’t miss this game-changing opportunity to invest in your legal career with top-tier education and real-world experience!
