    Product Description

    On Trial with Judge Kazanjian is an unparalleled learning opportunity for the attorney who is preparing for or currently engaged in trial practice. Judge Hélène Kazanjian of the Massachusetts Superior Court guides practitioners toward confident, practical mastery of trial technique and the law of trial evidence. Taking this course gives you a deep knowledge of the skills and experience required for trial practice—insight that can only come from an in-depth, expert examination of the actual trial process.

    In addition to a careful discussion of trial technique and tips, each weekly meeting includes an hour-long observation of actual trials in progress. Participants have the opportunity to discuss and observe first-hand motion practice, impanelment of juries, arguments concerning directed verdicts, closing arguments, and the judge’s charge. As the program proceeds through active discussion in the judge’s lobby and clinical courtroom observation, enrollment is limited to ensure the greatest degree of individual participation.
