Presenting and objecting to evidence is a key and often poorly executed part of trial law. Understanding how to control what evidence the factfinder sees will often be the difference between winning and losing your case.

The first half of the presentation will be a practical evidence lecture, and the second half will be a mock eviction trial to demonstrate the skills explained during the talk.
