NITA trial skills training set for May 9-12, 2016, at SULC
A free National Institute for Trial Advocacy Training (NITA) trial skills training program for legal services attorneys and law students will be held Monday-Thursday, May 9-12, 2016, in partnership with Southern University Law Center.
Thirty-two attorneys from legal services providers from across the state and 16 SULC students representing graduating seniors and those currently enrolled have signed up to participate in the intensive, hands-on, four-day program. The training, which will pair the public service attorneys with students, will teach students how to become better advocates for their clients.
Registration is set for 8:30-9 a.m., and sessions are to be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, and 9 a.m. to noon on Thursday in room assignments throughout SULC’s A. A. Lenoir Hall.
This program is one of two offered through the SULC/NITA partnership that will give students a competitive edge. The second program is a pilot program in which NITA will conduct a two-day class on client interviewing and fact-investigation skills. The classes will begin in fall 2016. SULC is one of the first law schools in the country to participate in the program.
