Summary

Join Academy Past President and the host of The Mentor Esq. podcast, Andrew Smiley, for Part 1 of our “Anatomy of a Trial, A Trial Skills Series.” Andrew will open his trial notebook and show you how he prepares and conducts trials through every stage. Topics covered will include preparing the witness, moving items into evidence and direct examination of lay and expert witnesses.

*For experienced attorneys only
Please note that as of 1/1/26, the NYS CLE Board requires all newly admitted attorneys to complete Skills credits in the traditional live classroom setting or by fully interactive videoconference (group participation only). This on-demand program does not fulfill that requirement for newly admitted attorneys.
