Revisiting Younger's 10 Commandments | Dec. 28 | Westin, Mt. Laurel
A generation of American lawyers were trained by the ultimate master advocate, the incomparable Professor Irving Younger. His astounding wit, charm, skill, experience and intellect set the standard for excellence in the courtroom and in CLE seminars. Younger's legend lives on, as Stephen D. Easton brings a fresh and contemporary approach to Younger's time-honored classic that has served as an essential foundation for real-world practice.

Easton rises to the task of revisiting Younger's classic Credibility & Cross-Examination: Including The 10 Commandments of Cross-Examination. Incorporating video clips from Younger's masterpiece presentation, Easton takes a fresh look at the philosophy, psychology and physiology of credibility. He analyzes modern tools for preparing a witness to be credible and reflects on the skills that every lawyer must master to expose an adversary's lack of credibility.

The Essentials of Writing for Trial and Appellate Advocates. No matter what level of experience you have or what area of practice you work in, as a lawyer you are constantly faced with the challenge of writing clear and concise documents.

At this one day seminar, nationally renowned author and lecturer Steven D. Stark will provide you with the tools you need to successfully write in today's legal environment.

Part 2: Speaking to Win
Whether you are called upon to give an oral argument, legislative testimony, a presentation to clients, or comments to the press, you'll come to understand what makes a great speaker effective, and discover how to use those techniques yourself. This multi-media, multi-disciplinary program includes fun, practical, improvisational exercises - to be done in class and then at home - designed to improve your skills and conquer anxiety. Whether you're a trial lawyer or simply have to give the occasional presentation, you'll come away with concrete ideas you can implement immediately.
