Arizona College of Trial Advocacy

Arizona College of Trial Advocacy

The flagship program of the Trial Practice Section is the Arizona College of Trial Advocacy, also known as the Trial College.

The College is an intensive, five-day workshop that provides practical hands-on training for trial lawyers. It culminates in a half-day mock trial with live jurors and judges in a Maricopa County Superior Court courtroom. The program is designed to significantly develop and refine the skills necessary for excellence in trial practice.

Why should this interest you?  The College provides a do-it-yourself teaching tool that gives aspiring trial attorneys an opportunity to mentor with top Arizona litigators and judges. Attorneys with personal injury practices can earn 10 points toward an Arizona Board of Legal Specialization in Injury and Wrongful Death Litigation.

The College is limited to 48 students.  For complete details, view the Trial College brochure.
