Back by popular DEMAND! The SBA is excited to sponsor the 2025 SBA Trial Academy. We have a great lineup of seasoned judges and attorneys who will be giving their time to teach two days of in-court, real time trial training for young lawyers and experienced lawyers looking to refresh and hone their trial skills.
It’s hard to improve on this program – First rate program, do it again next year – Excellent subject matter, instructors and location – I hope this is the beginning of a new opportunity to obtain CLE credit in Shreveport – Very professional, (refreshing change). Hats off to visionary planners and SBA President.
These are just a few of the comments received from past participants.
- Instructional sessions in courtrooms at the U.S. Western District, Shreveport Division and First JDC. Courtroom assignments will be provided.
- Federal and State District Judges presiding over exercises.
- Veteran plaintiff and defense trial lawyers as instructors.
- Mock-trial case materials provided to all participants.
- Participants will conduct opening and closing statements, direct and cross exams of fact witnesses, direct and cross-exams of expert witnesses, with real-time instruction by faculty lawyers and judges.
