QUOTEWORTHY
"So many law students have raw talent. That's how they got into law school. The continuous practicing and feedback you get from the Litigation Skills Program is absolutely necessary to polish raw talent."
Ashton Freeman, J.D. '10 2010 Recipient of the American Board of Trial Advocates Award
"The Litigation Skills program is a wonderful mix of practical, real life courtroom experience with the trial and error of a laboratory. Students are on their feet on day one, conducting opening statements, direct examinations, cross examinations. Whether you are going to be a courtroom litigator or not, the skills gained in the class routinely produce some of the most talented legal minds the law school has to offer. That's why we routinely hire from the Litigation Skills program."
Guy Lewis, Esq., Miami Law Adjunct Professor and Attorney, Lewis Tein PL
