2027 Discovery & Deposition College, Part 2 | August 10, 2027
Anticipated CLE Credits: 7.5 General; 7.5 Civil Trial Certification
This program is included at no additional cost when you register for the FJA Trial Track Certificate Program!
Taking an effective deposition takes practice, it takes skill. To do it correctly and ensure the best outcome, one shouldn’t do it without one key component: preparation. That preparation requires commitment to honing the skills needed to gather facts and lock down testimony to help prevent surprises at trial. FJA’s Discovery & Deposition College is a two-part series based on an actual case designed to help you better prepare your client’s case. Be sure to save your seat as this program wraps up with its in-person seminar being held in conjunction with the 2027 Christian D. Searcy Voir Dire and Al J. Cone Trial Advocacy Institutes.

This is not a course dealing with gimmicks or tricks or shortcuts, but rather a hardcore training session taking you mentally and emotionally to a different place in terms of your trial preparation and jury selection methodology.
