Invitation for Trial Advocacy Exhibition

On March 22, the Trial Advocacy Honors Board will be holding an exhibition trial of a double murder case. We would like to invite you.

What is Trial Advocacy?
It's a hands-on program that teaches students how to effectively conduct a trial. The program builds on what students have learned in Evidence and combines it with lessons in argumentation and examination, an understanding of human behavior, and a hint of theater. Trial Advocacy trains students to assemble and present a winning case.

This was the fact pattern of the regional tournament that Trial Advocacy recently competed in. We sent two teams, both of which advanced to the quarter finals. Four of these students---Ingrid Arriaga, Ciera Hertzog, Sina Mohajer, and Michael Ocampo--will be performing at this Exhibition. Prof. Pritikin will serve as judge.

Good Reasons to Attend
• For faculty: Come out and support this valuable Whittier program.
• For first years: Preview an organization that you can join next semester.
• For upper-division students: Take in an exhibition and see how what you learned in Evidence plays out in court.

When Is The Exhibition?
• When: Tuesday, March 22, from 12:00-2:00 p.m.
• Where: Moot Court Room B
• Lunch provided? Yes.

Hope to see you there.
