SUMMARY:GRADUATE: Direct Exam (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:Register Now\n	\n\nDirect Exam students will quickly remember what we all know to be true but oftentimes overlook: The lawyer must get out of the way and allow the client to tell their story. When we get out of the way\, let our clients do the storytelling\, our client becomes the most powerful witness at trial. \nDuring the three-day Direct Exam College students will get to see and experience the transformation of their direct exam skills. Students will first learn the tools of direct exam including creation of both the Client Profile and Direct Exam Checklist. \nRole playing exercises are woven throughout the college and will include the building of a direct exam through the Client Profile and the right way / wrong way to do a direct exam. \nFinally\, students will have the opportunity to build and perfect the direct exam for their own cases and role play the direct exam of their client the right way. \n$1\,500.00

SUMMARY:Undergraduate: Rules & Case Selection - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Register\n	\n\nRules & Case Selection is the sole entrance to the Keenan Trial Institute.  Completing Rules give students the right to attend other KTI courses.  Imagine leaving the Rules class with the introduction to an opening statement focused on winning your case in the first four and a half minutes. \nTrial Lawyers first learn the dirt simple truth that case selection criteria are the most important focus of their case.  Students work in small groups to develop Rules for their own case.  Instructors introduce Don Keenan’s 7 Rules for Writing Safety Rules.   The KTI’s system for improving trial lawyer’s skill forces students to get on their feet and present their Rules to their classmates.  Using the “trifecta” tool\, students and instructors collaborate to develop and refine their Rules.  Armed with safety rules\, students give the introduction of the opening to the class.  Investing your time to critique fellow students makes you uber efficient in the right way and wrong way to develop safety rules. \nThe simple truth is the Rules College is the important foundation to the system trial lawyers deserve to win and protect their community’s safety by holding wrongdoers accountable. \nSCHOLARSHIPS: We offer one scholarship for each course. To apply to receive a scholarship\, please click here. \nPre-Requisites: \nWelcome to the Keenan Edge online seminar \nTuition $1600.00.
