If you are an associate with seven years or less experience, this Boot Camp series is designed for you!

It features one-hour CLEs hosted by experienced defense trial lawyers from the WDTL community on opening statements, direct examination, cross-examination, and closing arguments.

After the sessions, join us at the WDTL Annual Convention in July for a live mock trial round. (The WDTL Convention is only open to WDTL members and requires a separate registration.)

Even if you can't make all the sessions, we encourage you to register; class sessions will be available on demand through the Education section of the WDTL website.

Non-Member Series Price: $400
