One of the most prominent programs in The John Marshall Law School advocacy curriculum is the tremendously popular and very successful Accelerated Trial Advocacy course. The course is offered twice each academic year, in either its basic trial or intellectual property format during summer and winter breaks. This intensive 10-day, nearly 70-hour class is taught by a dynamic team of federal judges, prosecutors and private attorneys, with classes of 10 or fewer students rotating between instructors throughout the length of the course. This novel arrangement allows our students to be exposed to the varying styles and techniques of each of these notable instructors. For obvious reasons, we refer to these educators as our "Masters of the Bench." Collectively, they are some of the foremost legal talent in the region. The course is taught be esteemed federal judges with decades of civil and criminal litigation experience; and respected federal prosecutors and private attorneys with hundreds of trials under their belts. Our students discover that under this group's tutelage, everything is possible - they bring the courtroom alive in the classroom.
