Identifying Danger Points in Voir Dire - Virtual Course
November 12, 2026 at 2 PM ET
Voir dire is one of the most critical moments in trial. Before lawyers can earn trust, ask meaningful questions, or help jurors speak honestly, they must first understand where the real danger lives in the case.
In this interactive 90-minute virtual course, participants will explore the first essential step of TLC voir dire: identifying danger points. Led in the style of a TLC small group, this program will invite participants to work with real case material, engage with the group, and examine why identifying danger points is crucial to making the remaining steps of voir dire work. This course is exclusive to TLC graduates.
