"The Case Planning & Discovery training was an eye-opening experience. Especially for me as a new attorney, I felt like it really gave me a good grasp on trial preparation an what is expected from me. I know that when I have to do discovery and deposition in the future, I will be able to meet the challenge." - Deanna Coates spotlight onBasic Lawyering Skills Online![]() The starting point for countless legal aid advocates' careers, CLAE has redesigned the traditional BLasT course to make it available online to advocates throughout the country who cannot attend or do not have access to an in-person introductory legal skills training. Our online version uses video demonstrations and presentations, web based live class meetings, interactive exercises and telephonic interviewing, counseling and oral advocacy simulations - all led, observed and critiqued by a highly experienced national faculty. The course provides a solid foundation for new advocates entering the legal services advocacy community. |
