At the Federal Criminal Defense Academy you will learn by doing.  While other programs may offer lectures, at our Academy participants put on a mock federal trial from opening to closing and are critiqued by experienced practitioners.   Those practitioners give lectures and lead small group activities.  Their role is to mentor participants so that at the end of the week you will give more effective openings and closings, direct and cross with new confidence, and be a better all-around trial lawyer.

Tuition: $999 must be paid in full by March 25, 2008.  Delayed payment arrangements will be made with Federal Defender offices when necessary.
