COURSE DESCRIPTION 2012 2013
Probate Family Trial Practice
Hon. Edward M. Ginsburg (Ret.),
2 credits day; 2 credits evening.
The Probate Trial Practice course is designed on the model established by the National Institute of Trial Advocacy to teach trial practice. The course follows the outline which is used annually in teaching the MCLE week long course on family law advocacy. The emphasis is on getting each student to perform as much as possible.
Each student begins with an uncontested motion, followed by a contested motion, followed by opening statements, and the direct and cross examination of parties and experts. Each week an experienced family law trial attorney critiques the students.
