Webinar Series
11:30 am – 2:30 pm ET
Two 75 minute presentations with a 30 minute lunch break 

This webinar is one of NDAA’s  2023 Trial Advocacy Trainings!

Join seasoned faculty members as they guide you through NDAA’s succinct process of case analysis and evaluation to assist you with the most efficient and effective case organization procedure for any case landing on your docket!  Faculty members will discuss how to: complete a strategic analysis of the case to further corroborate the prosecution’s theory, assess witness strengths and weaknesses, recognize the aspects of a case which can enhance or impede the momentum of the case, evaluate your legal and factual theories of the case, and organize the evidence or witnesses that support each. They will demonstrate how you can structure the presentation of evidence with a clear anticipation of potential defense tactics.  The speakers will also discuss the development of a physical and /or  virtual trial notebook to align your case preparation with the most effective presentation of your case.

There is a free-standing Ethics lecture based on pretrial ethical considerations with complex cases, for those of you seeking  essential ethics credits!

There will be a 30-minute lunch break built into this training!
