Please note that this program is only open to participants of the February 16 plenary session of Compelling Closing Arguments.
Participants of the Compelling Closing Arguments plenary session are also eligible to join us for our hands-on skills workshop, which will be held fully remotely in an exciting new format.
The workshop is your chance to practise and refine your closing argument skills in a safe and supportive environment. You will be asked to prepare and record a slice of a closing argument on video and submit it to our instructors in advance of the workshop. During the live workshop, you will receive individualized feedback on your recorded performance. You will then be given an opportunity to incorporate the feedback into your closing argument and deliver it a second time in your small group. Our trained instructors will also provide you with additional feedback on your live performance.
Please note that the workshop requires advance preparation based on a mock case file, which will be provided to you in advance of the workshop. Please ensure that you set aside enough time to prepare for the workshop, which may take up to a half-day to prepare for, depending on your level of experience.
*Due to current concerns with COVID-19, we will be offering this program fully remotely via webcast only.
