Anyone who is new to a prosecutor’s office should plan to attend the Texas District and County Attorneys Association’s Prosecutor Trial Skills Course. It’s a full week of intensive training that prepares new prosecutors for their work both in the courtroom and out. Seasoned faculty advisors are assigned to small groups of attendees to answer questions and direct discussions at each table, and jury selection and opening statement are demonstrated by veteran prosecutors. New prosecutors won’t want to miss this intensive, high-quality training customized especially for them!
The Prosecutor Trial Skills Course will be held at Austin Southpark Hotel. To make reservations at the $140 group rate, call (512) 448-2222 and mention PTSC in order to get the discounted rate.
