Boston College Law School
This course will bring together courtroom practice with an advanced study of evidence. The emphasis will be on integrated legal evidence theory with the professional skills students need to advocate in the courtroom. Students will engage in self-critique and will also receive feedback from fellow classmates and the instructor. The instructor will utilize the student exercises to teach the law of evidence at a level beyond the introductory evidence course and advocacy skills. All students will draft and argue motions in limine and prepare and perform examinations of witnesses.
