| Course Description: The Trial Lawyers College 3-Week Course is an opportunity to spend three weeks unwrapping a wonderful gift box. The box contains "how to's" on Jury Selection, Opening Statements, Direct and Cross Examinations, as well as Closing Arguments. It is a box full of surprise and intrigue. Once the box is emptied, it is tossed away and the focus is turned to one's personhood. With the full power of knowing what makes one tick, the explosiveness of the trial components come alive through creative, spontaneous, outside-the-box innovations that capture and invigorate. The Trial Lawyers College is a gift awaiting your receipt. |

| Food, Lodging, and Roommates: Meals are served buffet style. The dorm rooms are small and spartan (with two each of the following: twin bed, nightstand, table, chair, closet area). You will be sharing a room with a lawyer of the same sex. The men’s and women’s restrooms and showers are located at the end of the hallway. We provide a pillow and bedding (pillowcase, sheets, blanket, bedspread), but you need to bring your own towels and toiletries (e.g., shampoo, soap, lotion, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, earplugs). A laundry room is available for your use and laundry soap is available for purchase. Due to space limitations, TLC is unable to provide housing to accommodate your family or friends.

| What to Wear and Stuff to Bring: Casual Dress: Plan to dress in comfort, not in style. When you’re indoors, sneakers, jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts and summer outfits are appropriate. Bring a bathrobe, too. When you’re outdoors, cotton clothing is fine for warm days but has minimal insulating value, especially when wet. In September, temperatures in Dubois range from 67° F (average high) to 34° F (average low). The average daytime temperature is 51° F and the evenings are chilly. Bring wool and synthetic clothing that can be comfortably layered. Optional outdoor gear includes: rain/wind jacket and pants, down or fleece coat, leather or water-resistant hiking boots, good socks, long underwear, winter hat, winter gloves or mittens, baseball cap, flashlight or headlamp, water bottle, camera, daypack, sunscreen and insect repellant. For class time, bring a notebook or journal and a pen. Bring a hardcopy of your flight itinerary, coins for the soda machine, and a phone card to make long-distance calls (because cellular service is limited and Internet access is not available, except in emergency situations). If you’re a musician, bring your instrument! |
