The Federal Bar Association, Eastern District of Michigan Chapter, is teaming up with the American College of Trial Lawyers to retry the infamous Rosenberg spy case. “Anatomy of a Trial:
An In Depth Examination of Best Trial Practices” will take place on Friday, October 28, from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Levin U.S. District Courthouse in Detroit.
The event will feature a faculty of distinguished trial lawyers and judges for a mock trial program, the purpose of which is to train younger lawyers on best practices for opening statements, direct and cross examinations, closing arguments, and the ever-important skill of effective, ethical advocacy. Based on the real trial of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, this training will cover topics including opening statements, direct examination, cross-examination, closing arguments, and a discussion with federal judges on what they want from a trial lawyer.
Included will be:
• Full day of Anatomy of a Trial program with distinguished litigator and trial judge speakers
• Lunch
• Panel discussion with judges on what they want from trial lawyers
Cost is $76 for members and $126 for non-members/guests. To register, visit fbamich.org and click on “events.”
