This course provides direct experience with preparing and delivering presentations to varied audiences on topics relating to legal issues. Students will study presentation techniques as a framework, but the emphasis of the course is on doing: from the first class, students will stand up in front of a small group and start talking. The course progresses from simple oral presentations on a narrow topic, to presentations using slides that have already been developed, to presentations on broader topics where the students will work with a partner to develop slides, build a script, and deliver the presentation to an audience. Oral advocacy away from the courtroom is a universally necessary skill; lawyers who want to improve corporate practices, government policies, the conduct or direction of nonprofits, or the operations of their own firms need strong oral communication skills - and that can only come with experience.
