| Course Description: Open to trial lawyers, investigators and mitigation specialists. The representation of an individual charged with a capital crime is the highest calling for a lawyer. The cost of representation reaches deep into our souls. At this seminar we strive to walk in the shoes of our clients and to understand the impact of the crime on all the people touched by the tragedy. We bring together teams to discover the story of the client; we work on direct examination of the family of the accused and the experts presented in the mitigation stage; we look at jury selection and how to seat a jury that can hear the evidence that justifies life. This continuing law education program will focus on and address techniques the trial lawyer can use to successfully and adequately represent and understand a defendant facing the death penalty and to defeat death. |

| Food, Lodging, and Roommates: Meals are served buffet style. The dorm rooms are small and spartan (with two each of the following: twin bed, nightstand, table, chair, closet area). You will be sharing a room with someone of the same sex. The men’s and women’s restrooms and showers are located at the end of the hallway. We provide a pillow and bedding (pillowcase, sheets, blanket, bedspread), but you need to bring your own towels and toiletries (e.g., shampoo, soap, lotion, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, earplugs). A laundry room is available for your use and laundry soap is available for purchase. Due to space limitations, TLC is unable to provide housing to accommodate your family or friends.

| What to Wear and Stuff to Bring: Casual Dress: Plan to dress in comfort, not in style. When you’re indoors, sneakers, jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts and spring outfits are appropriate. Bring a bathrobe, too. When you’re outdoors, cotton clothing is fine for warm days but has minimal insulating value, especially when wet. In June, temperatures in Dubois range from 70° F (average high) to 39° F (average low). The average daytime temperature is 54° F and the evenings are chilly. Bring wool and synthetic clothing that can be comfortably layered. Optional outdoor gear includes: rain/wind jacket and pants, down or fleece coat, leather or water-resistant hiking boots, good socks, long underwear, winter hat, winter gloves or mittens, baseball cap, flashlight or headlamp, water bottle, camera, daypack, sunscreen and insect repellant. For class time, bring a notebook or journal and a pen. Bring a hardcopy of your flight itinerary, coins for the soda machine, and a phone card to make long-distance calls (because cellular service is limited and Internet access is not available, except in emergency situations). If you’re a musician, bring your instrument! |
