Description: Join our panel of experienced trial attorneys for the final class in our Trial Primer Series as they discuss how to develop and persuasively present a closing argument to convey your client’s story and convince the jury why your side’s perspective on the case warrants a favorable verdict. Those who attend will leave with a better understanding of how and when to effectively organize your closing, how to give a persuasive closing, what you can and can’t say, how to deal with the other side’s closing and rebuttal, and how to capture and keep the jury’s attention. 

While aimed at attorneys with little or no trial experience, others may find topics of interest in further developing their trial skills.
