CLE @ FIU

Inspired by alumni who find themselves advocating in court more than they anticipated upon graduating law school, CLE@FIU was created to provide the highest quality, hands-on, trial skills instruction, at a low cost, in an environment our former students feel comfortable in – our courtrooms here on campus.  Presented over two days, day one is classroom instruction given by top law school Trial Ad faculty along with local and nationally recognized trial lawyers and judges.  Day two is reserved for performance, as attendees break out in small groups – by intention, as our design is to facilitate deep learning – and give opening statement, closing argument, cross examine, pick juries – before our team of experienced advocacy teachers who constructively evaluate each performance to enhance classroom instruction.
