The Tribal Court Trial Skills College is an intense, four-day workshop providing practical, hands-on training for tribal court advocates, attorneys and judges who wish to develop and refine the skills necessary to try civil and criminal cases. During the course of the College, students participate in lectures and simulations in the following areas: opening statements, direct and cross examinations, jury selection and instructions, and closing arguments. Students will receive individual feedback and evaluations on their skills from exceptionally qualified and experienced tribal court lawyers and judges from throughout Arizona.

Space is limited to 16 students with preference given to advocates, attorneys, and judges who currently practice in tribal court.
