Day 1 - We focus on the heart of each case - the development of a CASE THEORY. We discuss case theories formulated by participants using course material sent in advance of the training.

 

Day 2 - Continuing our focus on the heart of each case, participants present case theories developed from case scenarios that are distributed at the end of the first day.

 

Day 3 & 4 - Participants engage in witness preparation. We also address evidence and the related concepts of relevancy, admissibility, weight, and everyone's favorite - HEARSAY. Exercises requiring participants to mark, lay the foundation, and move for the admission of various exhibits teach participants how to excel in this facet of advocacy. This two-day segment concludes with an exercise on making and using objections.

 

Day 5 & 6 - Are devoted to the use of objections and direct and cross-examination. Participants are assigned to a group that will work together for the final arbitration exercise.

 

Day 7 - Participants give opening statements and closing arguments.

 

Day 8 - Issues of ethics and potential sources of bias in advocacy and the process are addressed during the morning of day eight, after which the groups work together to prepare for the final arbitration exercise.

 

Day 9 - The groups present to an arbitrator a complete case, from opening statement to closing argument.
