Over the past 10 years, we have worked to create a model courtroom/ classroom design thataccurately represents and prepares you for the often intimidating atmosphere of a real courtroom. Our four high-tech courtrooms are seamlessly integrated into our writing program and trial advocacy program complementing our traditional high-tech classrooms. This allows you to begin practicing lawyering skills your first year so by graduation you are prepared to be a strong advocate for your clients. These courtrooms are highly versatile and practical with adaptable technology and modular furniture allowing for numerous courtroom and classroom setups.
