Whether you have an attorney or not it would help you understand the trial process and understand important rules of evidence.
Trial is the culmination of a law case whether criminal, family or civil. This program focuses on civil procedure. Family law cases such as divorces and paternity cases follow civil procedure. Criminal law cases follow civil procedure rules. Both Civil and Criminal cases follow the same rules of evidence. As you know trial is where evidence is presented and a decision made by either a jury or a judge (i.e., a “bench trial”). In this class, an experienced trial judge will provide basic rules, strategy and tips about how to present evidence and handle your own trial in a California state court.
Class covers:
- Presenting testimony from friendly witnesses
- Cross-examining unfriendly witnesses
- Getting documents admitted into evidence
- How to stop improper evidence by making effective objections
- Making opening and closing arguments
Class approved for Court Interpreter Minimum Continuing Education (CIMCE) credit.
