Lawyer of the People Certification
The Trial Lawyers College trains lawyers who serve the needs of the people. To that end, we do not accept students who serve the needs of government or corporate entities.
The Courage to Ask™ is a one-of-a-kind seminar that offers a revolutionary approach to improving your skills in asking for money damages. With a focus on the unique TLC methods, this seminar is led by experienced TLC-trained lawyers and licensed psychodramatists. The program delves into the students' relationship with money and their feelings about it, and helps them overcome any limiting beliefs, fears, or emotions that may hinder their ability to be the most effective advocate for their clients.
In this ground-breaking TLC seminar, you will work in small groups, and possibly even on your own cases to apply the time-tested methods that make TLC so unique on this subject. You will learn how to credibly support demands for FULL justice from lawyers just like you who have used our methods to do it. You will learn that your unfiltered, authentic self is powerful, and you are enough to ask for the justice the case deserves -- not the justice the defense thinks is adequate.
Throughout this program, students will learn how to better prepare themselves, their clients, and their cases for both trial and pre-trial demands, as well as mediation. The sessions will focus on voir dire and closing argument.
Unlike a typical lecture-based course, students will have the opportunity to work on their feet during each day. This immersive learning experience is designed to help students integrate their new skills and understanding more effectively.
COURSE FEE: $4740 includes training, lodging for student (assigned shared room) & meals.

FLEXIBLE PAYMENT OPTIONS & FINANCIAL ASSISSTANCE
Trial Lawyers College knows that some trial lawyers may not currently have the funds needed to attend training on the TLC Method. In true F-Warrior fashion, many TLC alumni have graciously donated funds to assist. The goal is to assist those who are truly in need and to make sure all get an equal chance at receiving assistance whether it be providing full tuition, half tuition, lodging (if available) or a *payment plan.
The TLC Course Assistance application process will include not just the typical questions but will also keep in line with the spirit of the TLC Method by asking for the applicant’s story. The application content will be kept confidential among the TLC Financial Assistance Committee and TLC administrative staff.
Similar to some grant processes, applicants for assistance must provide employment status and employer name for previous 12 months; city and state (or region) in which they practice; average monthly income (from all sources) over the past 12 months; a statement of why assistance is needed; and how much assistance is needed. Applications will be reviewed 40 days prior to the course’s start date so assistance may be provided in sufficient time to allow travel plans and to also stay within the course’s venue contractual obligations. There may be occasions where last-minute application approval(s) become available. Those will be addressed in as timely a fashion as possible.
*A payment plan may be developed with the student and administration team for installment payments so that the full tuition is paid upon arrival at the course.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
Given the high cost of providing courses at easily accessible venues nationwide and those venues’ strict cancellation policies, TLC has had to make changes to its cancellation policy. To lessen the impact of this change in policy on our tribe, we offer the following options:
1. In the case where a student needs to cancel, they have 31 days prior to the course to cancel and receive a full refund. If it is after the 31-day deadline, to receive a full refund they may contact Brooklyn@triallawyerscollege.org with the name of a replacement student who is prepared to take their place. This is especially important to cover the cost of the committed lodging. After the replacement student completes registration including full payment, a full refund will be processed.
2. If no replacement is found for their reserved spot prior to the program, we will apply 50% of the paid tuition as a credit toward a future program, to be used within one year, and use the other 50% toward the unused lodging expense of the course cancelled.
