Audio Case Files and Courtroom Connect brings you the Video Training Library. It is an organized collection of video clips accompanied by short bullet presentations to highlight various trial advocacy tips and techniques. There are clips for opening and closing arguments, direct and cross examinations, examining experts and rebuttal, most of which are from actual trials. Clips tend to be short and illustrate specific concepts, such as humanizing the client in an opening statement.

Audio Case Files and Courtroom Connect is available to students and faculty who create a free account using a college of law email address. To access the Video Training Library, sign in and click on Trial Video link in the top blue bar. Then click on Video Training Library in the top blue bar. You must have Microsoft Silverlight downloaded in order to view the clips.

Audio Case Files and Courtroom Connect also has videos of actual trials from start to finish (broken up into sections such as opening, closing etc) and audio recordings of cases you may be assigned to read.
