*Workshops*When conference participants arrive at the conference, they will be split into four groups - A, B, C, and D. For the first workshop, each group will go to a workshop, except for Group D, which will be split between students who typically portray attorneys and students who typically portray witnesses. The attorneys will go to a workshop on Opening & Closing Statements, while the witnesses will go to a workshop on Witness Portrayal.

Throughout the conference, each group will rotate to a new workshop. By the end of the day, each group will have gone through a Cross-Examination workshop, a Direct-Examination workshop, an Evidence workshop, and a Speeches/Witness workshop (each group will split in two for this final activity.)

In each of the first three workshops, where all 25 students are together, we will be teaching from both the perspective of an attorney and a witness. For example, in the cross-examination workshop, we will teach how to conduct a cross-examination as an attorney, and how to respond to questions as a witness. For the evidentiary workshop, we will teach how to object and, as a witness, how to phrase testimony to fit a judge's ruling or how to make sure that something does *not* enter the court record.

The four workshops are as follows (with locations):
