A series of lecture/discussion and lab classes devoted to the study of examining witnesses and trying cases that include the following topics: pretrial motions, jury selection, opening statement, direct and cross-examination, impeachment, laying foundations for exhibits, and closing arguments. Students learn how to separate fact from argument, how to mine and polish facts, and how to examine witnesses and introduce exhibits, which are critical skills in both depositions and trials. Each element of the trial is studied in discrete weekly lectures/discussions and lab classes that culminate in a final mock jury trial with a presiding judge and jurors in the box. P-LAW 207
