Join us for the IADC's 50th Annual Trial Academy.


As the “Crown Jewel” of the IADC, the Trial Academy is one of the oldest and most respected programs for developing defense trial advocacy skills. Perfect for those looking to learn and practice the fundamentals and for those seeking to refine their techniques and tactics and take their trial skills to the next level, students will learn by doing.

This week-long intensive workshop blends faculty instruction and demonstration with individual student participation in the setting of a mock trial.

The scholarship will cover tuition and room and board for a worthy candidate who works for a small firm (30 or fewer attorneys), solo practice, person of color, member of an underrepresented group, or works for a government or non-profit entity.
