YLS Trial Academy
April 5-6, and 11, 2025
Registration is now open for the YLS Trial Academy on April 5-6, and 11, 2025. This program provides great trial training for attorneys seeking to gain trial expertise.
The upcoming YLS Trial Academy will be the most immersive and thorough trial academy presented by the Nevada State Bar to date. We are also excited to announce that the trial academy will now span over 3 days, allowing the participants to hone their skills one-on-one with experienced trial attorneys and to gain experience through a mock trial in front of the judges of the Eighth Judicial District Court.
Come check out this year’s trial academy and learn about the various aspects of the trial process, including: opening statements, direct examinations, cross examinations, closing arguments, evidence and objections, and ethics.
This year’s Trial Academy will only cost $650.00 and participants will earn 14.0 general CLE credits, 1.0 substance, and 1.0 ethics CLE credit. Seating is very limited, with only 24 spots. So sign up quickly!
This is a Live Event only. The first two days will take place at the State Bar of Nevada offices at 3100 W. Charleston Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89102. The final day will take place in the Eighth Judicial District Courtrooms.
