Built Different: Trial Skills Academy
The Built Different: Trial Skills Academy is designed to equip law students and first, second, and third year attorneys with in-depth training on voir dire, opening statement, and closing argument. Led by some of the nation’s most accomplished trial attorneys, this immersive program offers invaluable insights into proven strategies and techniques that win trials. Participants will have the unique opportunity to practice in a courtroom setting, present in front of jurors and evaluators, and receive on-the-spot hands-on training from experienced attorneys.
More Than Just Another Workshop or Seminar
Last year, the Built Different: Trial Skills Academy was an incredible success. We handpicked exceptional participants who received personalized guidance and direct feedback from John Uustal and his team of accomplished trial attorneys.
This is not a passive learning experience where you sit in the back of an auditorium, watching demonstrations from afar. Here, you’ll be on your feet: practicing, engaging in hands-on exercises, and receiving real-time feedback tailored to your unique strengths and areas for growth.
But this academy isn’t for everyone
It’s because of our culture and our unique trial training.
Working on a world-class trial team, with all that incredible talent, is a special kind of challenge. It’s more like working on a movie set than in a law firm. Or working with a Navy SEAL Team, or a small start-up intent on changing the world in a massive way.
With this level of intimate mentorship comes high expectations. To earn your place, you’ll need to demonstrate the discipline, preparation, and determination it takes to become a truly exceptional trial attorney.
Are you ready to rise to the challenge? This opportunity is just one click away.
