ABOUT
TLC has developed a compelling and unique approach to Opening Statement. Faculty lead Milton Grimes describes Opening Statement as “the sum of all the parts of trial (with light argument built in, cross and direct, soliloquy, reenactment, and voir dire), that will leave the jury wanting to find a way to help your client.” After observing a faculty demonstration, you will divide into small groups to work on your own cases where you will learn by doing, not by struggling through endless lectures.
Join TLC’s faculty team of trial lawyers, guided by TLC-trained psychodramatists [at least a 6:1 student-faculty ratio], to learn how to become the leader of your tribe — one composed of you and your jurors — who together will deliver justice for your client. This is not about copying other attorneys: we will help you prepare and deliver a winning opening in your own voice for your client’s justice.
