The National Employment Lawyers Association’s Trial Boot Camp is an intensive three-day skills-based program specifically designed for plaintiffs’ employment lawyers at all levels of trial experience.

Topics covered will include opening statements, closing arguments, direct and cross-examination of witnesses, the rules of evidence, jury selection, and more.
On Thursday October 12, 2017, TELG managing Principal R. Scott Oswald and Cynthia Forman Wilkinson will present on the importance of captivating a jury during direct examination. Participants will understand all aspects of an effective direct examination from strategy and credibility issues to offers of proof and preserving objections to protect your record on appeal. The presenters will demonstrate how to admit an exhibit into evidence and how to respond to evidentiary objections.
