Description

This client-focused CLE course equips attorneys with the essential skills to confidently prepare survivors of domestic violence—and other vulnerable or anxious witnesses—for high-stakes testimony. You’ll learn how to build trust, shape persuasive narratives, and ready clients for the intensity of cross-examination, all while enhancing your own courtroom strategy and presence.

For attorneys seeking to become more effective, compassionate, and trial-ready advocates, this course is an indispensable opportunity.
