ADJUNCT FACULTY PROFESSOR - Mock Trial Strategy & Practice

University of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, PA, United States
Full-time

Course Description : MOCK TRIAL STRATEGY & PRACTICE - 2 credits - Fall 2023

In this class, you will learn the fundamentals associated with trying a jury case. You will learn how to conduct each phase of the trial from opening statements to closing arguments and everything in between.

There will be a focus on the use of trial evidence which will serve as a good supplement to a regular evidence class. This is very much a learning-by-doing environment, and you will be required to participate in class work to demonstrate your understanding of the assignment.

It cannot be emphasized enough that grading will not be based on overall skill, but instead focused on individual improvement throughout the semester.

This class will also serve as a springboard into competing on the Law School's Mock Trial teams.

Although this class is focused on trial practice, it is beneficial to all students regardless of their anticipated career path.

Through the semester, you will learn how to synthesize, sort, and present ideas in a persuasive fashion to your audience.

Salary : $2,000

Required Qualifications : J.D.; at least three years of practice experience, and prior law teaching experience preferred.

The University of Pittsburgh is committed to championing all aspects of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility within our community.

This commitment is a fundamental value of the University and is crucial in helping us advance our mission, which includes attracting and retaining diverse workforces.

We will continue to create and maintain an environment that allows individuals to discover, belong, contribute, and grow, while honoring the experiences, perspectives, and unique identities of all.

The University of Pittsburgh is an Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer and values equality of opportunity, human dignity and diversity.

EOE, including disability / vets.
