Law School Support | Legal Community Support
CLCT places great emphasis on service to the Law School and the National Center for State Courts. Law School Support includes teaching courses, support of the Legal Skills Program, financial support of students, and general assistance to the staff and faculty of both the Law School and College.
A major and expanding component of CLCT is our work in education and training. In addition to classes offered to students enrolled at William and Mary’s School of Law, we also routinely holds training programs for interested attorneys, judges, courtroom technologists, and other members of the legal community. Many of these training programs are offered in Williamsburg, but our staff is also available to travel to other locations to offer training courses. The programs feature a range of topics, including:
- Technology Augmented Trial Advocacy Certification Course
- Courtroom Technology: A Survey Course for Litigators
- Persuasive Courtroom Presentation Technology
- Digital Discovery in the Real World - Tools to Equip a Lawyer in
- Trial or an ADR Setting
- Deposition of the Technology Forensic Witness
- Electronic Discovery of Email: A Course for Litigators & Investigators
One of the Project’s most successful initiatives has been our certification course for legal technologists. This course is designed to assist court IT personnel in dealing with the audio and video aspects of modern courtroom technologist.
The Courtroom 21 Project includes cutting edge distance education technologies. Although the Project has conducted distance education activities for many years, we are now planning a major expansion to address the needs of our Court Affiliates, judges, lawyers, and court reporters.
