From 2005 to 2015 this blog presented news items and resources relating to trial advocacy and the legal system, with a focus on Washington State. It was developed to support the Trial Advocacy Program at the University of Washington School of Law, but broadened to include appellate practice, the courts, access to justice, and related topics. It is no longer active.

Busy Week!
There's a lot going on for students (and community members) interested in trial-related topics next week!
I'm participating in the 1L appellate ad competition this week. It's rough! My partner and I won the oral element last night, but ended up losing over all as our opponents wrote a higher-scoring brief. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your good oral advocacy scores and good luck tonight!
ReplyDeleteHang in there -- it's all about developing new skills. Well, everyone prefers winning, too, but that's just a part of the picture. -- Mary
