ABOUT

Psychodrama has been defined as “the search for truth in dramatic action”. Unless one knows something of the self it is impossible to know much about the jurors, the judge and the witnesses. A jury trial is a meeting at which the various psyches of the participants are thrown into the pot — the courtroom — along with the law and the evidence, and that which emerges from the “mystical stew” is the verdict. Trial Skills Foundation is a 5-day course that teaches participants how to use the methods of psychodrama in every phase of their trial. This course, at a level of participation entirely up to the participant, provides an opportunity for lawyers to approach the trial of their cases with a new knowledge of the self that helps remove much of the mystery and blind conclusions of the jury trial and opens new doors for winning. In every element of the trial from discovering the story to the final argument we utilize means and methods that students have discovered in the psychodramatic experience. Open to Lawyers and Paralegals from qualifying law offices. This course was previously titled Psychodrama for Lawyers.

LOCATION Shambala mountain center in colorado

Nestled high in the Colorado Rockies, Shambhala Mountain Center is a six-hundred-acre mountain valley retreat surrounded by native forests, gentle meadows and rocky peaks. Tamed by decades of use as a contemplative refuge, we provide a safe and supportive container for exploring paths of deepened awareness, personal wellbeing and societal transformation.

FACULTY

All Trial Lawyers College courses are taught by graduates of the College, who volunteer their time, talents and resources to provide high-quality training not offered in any other CLE program.
