617 423-0400Dan Rabinovitz, co-chair of Murphy & King’s Litigation Department, will once again lead the National Institute for Trial Advocacy’s (“NITA”) Building Trial Skills program held in Boston from December 9, 2024 to December 13. 2024. NITA’s “learn by doing” method allows participants to practice and perfect essential trial skills in a simulated trial setting.
NITA is considered the industry’s gold standard in teaching trial advocacy, by providing participants the ability to perform various aspects of a trial and receive individualized critiques from one of the many seasoned lawyers or judges that volunteer their time to teach.
During the program participants will work on Direct and Cross Examinations (including for expert witnesses), as well as opening statements and closing arguments. The course concludes with participants trying a mock jury trial before actual jurors in the John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse.
To run the program, Dan will enlist the help of approximately 20 trial lawyers from around the country to teach as faculty members and approximately 100 Boston area high school students who will sit as jurors for the mock trials.
