ABOUT
Before beginning the application process, please consult the FAQ page (http://triallawyerscollege.dca360.com/contact-us/faq/) for important information about the process and application. The 3-Week College is TLC’s flagship course. Held in July and September, from start to finish this comprehensive program dissects courtroom procedures with painstaking detail to provide hands-on tools to achieve justice for your clients. Trial skills are only part of being a force in the courtroom. The trial lawyer’s power originates from within. Knowledge of oneself gives the lawyer the capability to know others and to connect with each person in the courtroom including the witnesses, judge and jurors. The power of TLC’s methods comes alive through creative, spontaneous, outside-the-box innovations that capture juries and move them to justice. The 3-Week College is led by a team of TLC-trained and experienced trial lawyers, behavioral and communication experts. Come join us. Learn how to win your cases with TLC’s methods. Meet other trial lawyers who will become life-long friends. Become reacquainted with the person you were before you started law school – before the system wore you away. Connect with a tribe of trial lawyers who want nothing more and nothing less than to win justice for those who are lost, forgotten, injured and damned.

FACULTY

Because our faculty are volunteers, and are actively practicing in their respective firms, our faculty list is subject to change.
Course leaders:
Week 1: Ashley Parris and Colby Vokey
Week 2: Kim Benjamin and Eric Davis
Week 3: Renee Stackhouse and Nelson Tyrone
Faculty teams will change each week. Special Guests during Weeks 2 & 3 will be announced.
