Voir Dire
Location
Scarritt Bennett Center, Nashville, Tennessee
When
February 19-February 23, 2025
Learn the winning TLC Method of Voir Dire and the art of reading people through both verbal and physical cues. The course will start with the original TLC practice of training trial lawyers with psychodrama by licensed specialists. Psychodrama provides lawyers the ability to put stories into action, keeping the human factor as part of the equation during all parts of a trial. Trial lawyers are placed in small groups to learn about each other and themselves to become more aware of our differences and similarities. This knowledge will strengthen storytelling techniques to make courtroom presentations more effective and persuasive.

This Graduate I Course explores and deepens the understanding of the role of "director" in trial preparation and witness examinations.
Register NowThe Trial Lawyers College is proud of its unique training
based upon psychodrama. TLC is also
proud of its uniqueness from other lawyer seminars in that those who have
graduated from the college join a Warrior family of alumni. Unfortunately, there are some lawyers who
cannot carve out 3 weeks to attend college.
Knowing this hardship, TLC offers the ability for a trail lawyer for the
people to graduate through a 7-step program.
Application for the 7- step program will track the same
process as an applicant for the 3 Week College (form questions, references and
essay…). The approval process will be
truncated though to save time by allowing admission upon review and acceptance
by a majority vote of the TLC board.
Once accepted, the student will be eligible to graduate upon
the following conditions if done within 5 years of acceptance into the 7-step
program:
·
Complete 6 sessions (2 consecutive days, 8 hours
each day) of Personal Psychodrama at any TLC event offering such;
·
Complete 6 sessions (2 consecutive days, 8 hours
each day) of Discovering the Story at any TLC event offering such;
·
Complete 6 sessions (2 consecutive days, 8 hours
each day) of Voir Dire Trial Skills training at any TLC event offering such;
·
Complete 3 sessions (1 day/8 hours) of Opening
Statement Trial Skills training at any TLC event offering such;
·
Complete 3 sessions (1 day/8 hours) of Direct
Examination Trial Skills training at any TLC event offering such;
·
Complete 3 sessions (1 day/8 hours) of Cross
Examination Trial Skills training at any TLC event offering such;
·
Complete 3 sessions (1 day/8 hours) of Closing
Statement Trial Skills training at any TLC event offering such;
·
And at the end, attend and complete a Graduate
Course which includes the same sessions included at the 3 Week College -
Velveteen Rabbit, Paint, Song and Poem, and Walk in Silence.
To assist 7- step program participants, TLC will make every effort to schedule training that support completion of the program by tracking the skills offered at each TLC training. The policy will be retroactively applied.
