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.
