Effective motions advocacy is critical to your success as an advocate. Join us for the second block of our Building Block Series, which focuses on effective written and oral advocacy, and discover how to improve the strength, credibility and persuasiveness of your evidence and submissions. Hear directly from judges and leading practitioners on how you can improve your written argument and draft better affidavits and factums. Receive practical tips and strategies for delivering powerful submissions and then see theory come to life in a dynamic live demonstration.

You will also have the unique opportunity to participate in an "Ask Me Anything" breakout session, where you will get the chance to ask a senior practitioner targeted questions related to motions advocacy and get the answers you need in a safe and supportive environment. Please come prepared with questions in order to get the most out of the session.

Topics Include:

• Key principles for drafting proper affidavits
• Best practices for drafting the motion factum
• Effective oral advocacy in the courtroom
• Demonstration and commentary: effective motions advocacy
• And more!
