Sign UpThe 7-Step Certification Program offered by the Trial Lawyers College provides an alternative pathway for lawyers to graduate without attending the traditional three-week College. To qualify for this program, participants must attend seven seminars within a span of five years, with the Trial Skills Foundation Seminar being one of the first three seminars attended. Following the third seminar, interested individuals can notify the Registrar and submit an 850-word essay for review by the Executive Director and select members of the TLC Board of Directors. The program maintains rigorous acceptance criteria, similar to the three-week course, but offers participants the flexibility of completing their training within a longer timeframe.
Established in 2006, the 7-Step Certification Program has seen more than 55 lawyers graduate from its ranks, compared to over 2000 lawyers who have completed the three-week course since the inception of the Trial Lawyers College in 1994. Each seminar within the program focuses on teaching specific trial skills, ranging from discovering the story and conducting voir dire to delivering powerful opening statements, effective direct and cross examinations, and compelling closing arguments. Additionally, participants have the option to choose from a selection of eight-day seminars tailored to different legal specializations and two graduate seminars that delve into the creative aspects of courtroom presentation and case structuring.
By providing an alternative pathway to graduation, the 7-Step Certification Program accommodates lawyers seeking a flexible training schedule while upholding the College's commitment to developing exceptional trial lawyers who are dedicated to the pursuit of justice.
