the litigation center

The Litigation Center at Golden Gate University provided students with a clear path to acquiring the skills necessary for successful legal careers in litigation. Our students were immersed in an innovative, integrated curriculum, competed in regional and national competitions as part of the prestigious National Trial Team, enjoyed access to world-class litigators, and developed into effective and persuasive advocates. Students had the ability to participate in ongoing events and activities through the Center, including drafting articles for the seasonal newsletter “The Exhibit”, networking with experienced litigators and judges in the field, assisting in the presentation of speakers and panelists, etc. CLICK HERE TO READ THE LATEST EXHIBIT NEWSLETTER.

SUMMER TRIAL AND EVIDENCE PROGRAM (1st STEP)

After their first year in law school, students trained as litigators through the Litigation Center’s nationally recognized Summer Trial and Evidence Program (1st STEP). Trial skills became second nature after students completed case study exercises, presented in workshops, argued motions, and conducted full trials. By undergoing rigorous skills training tailored to hone courtroom technique, students received an early advantage in today’s competitive job market.
