Live Webinar: Criminal Trial Demonstration: A Disputed Cause of Injury

October 20, 2023


The South Carolina Bar CLE Division is proud to present A Criminal Trial Demonstration: Disputed Cause of Injury.

Course Planner, Judge Robert Hood, has selected some of South Carolina’s most experienced prosecutors and defense attorneys to demonstrate the height of the trial lawyer’s craft by trying a disputed domestic violence case in front of a live jury.

Do you want to learn how great lawyers try cases? This powerful and practical program offers you the opportunity to learn how these veteran attorneys handle facts and expert witnesses, make and respond to objections, offer opening statements, and make closing arguments.

Have you ever wondered what really goes on in the jury room? This seminar gives you the unique opportunity to view a live video broadcast as our jury deliberates, assesses evidence, evaluates the credibility of witnesses, and renders its verdict about the defendant’s guilt or innocence.

This program is pending approval of Rule 403 trial experience requirements.

If you prosecute or defend criminal cases in South Carolina, you won’t want to miss this amazing opportunity to watch some of South Carolina’s top criminal practice attorneys work their craft, network with your colleagues, and get a full 6.0 hours of MCLE credit.

This seminar is an intermediate level program.

The Supreme Court of South Carolina has approved this one "video trial" course for one "civil or criminal jury trial" credit in satisfaction of credit in satisfaction of Rule 403(b)(2), SCACR, for eligible students or members of the bar who attend the legal education seminar virtually through the South Carolina Bar online catalog.
