For courtroom attorneys, there is much more to a case than simply discussing evidence and questioning witnesses. Attorneys must provide a compelling narrative to advocate their position. In Hollywood, actors use a variety of tools to bring truth to their performances, and many of these tools can also be used by courtroom attorneys to make advocacy more compelling.
In this practical webinar, you will examine the tools used by Hollywood actors to bring truth to their performances and explore ways these tools can also be used by attorneys in the courtroom. You will also discuss how to connect with jurors and judges through empathy and vulnerability, and how to weave these elements into a narrative that supports your case.
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
- Identify hidden facts and details that will support your narrative
- Connect with decision makers by appealing to their empathy
- Analyze and guide fear and anxieties
- Cultivate undeniable presence in the courtroom

What is a webinar?
A webinar is simply a seminar that you attend online. You either watch a live video feed of the speaker or listen to the speaker through your computer, tablet or phone’s audio. You see the speaker’s slides, videos, and other presentation materials on your screen.
Can I ask questions during the webinar?
Yes. During the live webinar, you may submit questions and comments and the speaker will respond verbally. For a recorded webinar, your questions will be emailed to the speaker. You will typically receive a response from the speaker within two business days.
Can I attend using a tablet or smartphone?
Yes. You may attend a webinar using a computer, tablet or smartphone.
If I can’t attend a webinar live, can I view the recording later?
Yes. Shortly after each live program ends, we send all webinar registrants a link to the webinar recording. You can view the recording as many times as you like after the live webinar for up to 12 months.
What is an on-demand webinar?
An on-demand webinar is a previously recorded webinar that you may view at any time after your purchase for up to 12 months.
Can I stop a recorded webinar and start it later at the same point?
You can stop a recording and later log back in and navigate to any point in the webinar. The system will not force you to view the entire recording from start to finish.
Can I listen to recorded webinars on a tablet or smartphone?
Yes. You will be able to listen to any of our on-demand webinars on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Do the webinars qualify for Continuing Education Credit?

In all other jurisdictions, recorded programs are eligible for credit. In addition, CPE credit is not available for recorded webinars. Please note that recorded webinars are only eligible for a certain period of time based on the jurisdiction.
