MCLE Family Law Trial Advocacy Workshop 2025

        When: June 9-13, 2025
        Location:

        MCLE Conference Center
        Ten Winter Place, Boston

        Join Verrill’s Regina Hurley as she teaches during the MCLE Family Law Trial Advocacy Workshop taking place June 9-13, 2025.

        This intensely challenging course gets you “on your feet” under the rigorous scrutiny of judges and leading practitioners. Join the scores of divorce lawyers who have polished their courtroom efficacy in this Workshop’s supportive environment, learning trial advocacy from motion practice—to expert witness examination—to final argument. You won’t find another training experience quite like this one. In each class session, you perform as trial counsel in phases of an ongoing trial. Day 1 begins with admitting exhibits and demonstrative evidence. By Day 4, you’re examining actual real estate and psychological experts.

        Throughout the week, you observe expert domestic relations practitioners demonstrate effective trial techniques. Between “courtroom” performances, the faculty lectures on family law trial topics. On the final day of this intensive experience, you’re the leading counsel in a full-blown divorce trial. All the skills you learned during the week are on display before a Probate and Family Court judge, who concludes the workshop with a frank, no-holds-barred critique of your trial performance and newly-found advocacy skills.

        Open to lawyers only, this program gives you a newfound confidence in yourself.
