What participants have to say about this seminar... "It is hard
to believe that it has been over 3 years since I attended the Trial Lawyers
College Death Penalty Seminar in Wyoming. At that time, I was working
on a death penalty case where my client had confessed to stabbing to death
his aunt, 4 year old nephew and 6 year old niece. My client even stabbed
the family dog. "As a mitigation-legal investigator, the impact of this enviroment
was so pronounced that classifying it as a seminar seems to diminish
what was accomplished at the ranch. If one is going to properly
function in the death penalty arena they cannot miss what is offered!
Thank you so much." "Before I attended the Death Penalty Seminar, I felt alone and isolated in my practice. When I left, I knew that I was not alone. I now had a nationwide network of brothers and sisters upon whom I could call for help and advice. æWe met as strangers, but soon forged friendships that will last a lifetime."
"I learned a great deal about style and tactics. The teaching staff was great. A super compilation of talent and personality."
"The TLC Death Penalty Seminar taught me tools with which to communicate better with my client and the jury. These tools are excellent and will help me become a better lawyer. There is no better seminar, for the money or time, that you can attend."
"I will better be able to understand my client as a person. I now have the confidence to speak in the courtroom with my heart."
"It is a very worthwhile program that allows you to use your emotions to effectively improve your chances and to bring your case to life."
"I learned that the power of persuasion stems from discovering the true feelings of my client, identifying that part of my client within myself and then telling my client's story."
"I can tell the story better now by seeing all sides and knowing myself. The staff was exceptional."
"This is the best seminar you will ever go to."
"Come prepared to open yourself and rediscover the joy of being an advocate for your fellow man."
"By following through with the skills I learned I will be able to significantly improve my skill as a death penalty lawyer and human being."
"It is a very worthwhile program that teaches you to use your emotions to effectively improve your chances and bring your case to life."
"I got some priceless insights on how to preset my case in the penalty phase."
"I'm amazed at how creative I can be if I'm only given permission and encouraged. This seminar gave me courage, communication and creativity."
"I learned new skills that will help improve my voir dire and opening arguments for sure. If you attend this seminar, you will never regret it."
"The Trial Lawyers College Death Penalty Seminar was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I've told people it ranks third in my life, behind marriage and the birth of my child. It changed me as a person, and for that I am grateful. The changes will carry through to my lawyering, but improvement of my skills as a lawyer pales in comparison to
the impact the experience has had on my life."
"The legal talent assembled at the Trial Lawyers College Death Penalty Seminar was amazing. Both the faculty and the students were the best and the brightest. There is
absolutely no doubt that many lives will be saved because lawyers who care came together
in Wyoming in July 2001 and worked as a team to better their skills as death penalty
defenders so as to stop other lawyers whom are neither the best nor the brightest from
killing the poor and unwanted of the country. The Death Penalty Seminar is a must for
lawyers with the duty of keeping the government from killing."
"Next to a death penalty trial itself, the Trial Lawyers College Death Penalty Seminar
was the most intense trial experience of my life. It has caused me to completely
reevaluate the way I present my client's case to a jury."
"After 31 years of criminal defense practice, handling dozens of capital defense cases, and attending numerous death penalty seminars, it is easy to believe that you've seen it
all. Gerry Spence's Death Penalty Seminar proved that 'there is still so much to be done,
Jimmy.' Spence's techniques are like the all seeing eye, peeling off layers of deeper
understanding of witnesses and clients, like peeling back the layers of an onion. These
same techniques have shown me how to conquer my own personal nemesis, and how to approach
and meet with the family of the victim. Throw away the 'bag of tricks,' this is for
real!"
"When friends ask me how the Death Penalty Seminar was, the first words out of my mouth are 'it was a life-altering experience that has made a better person out of me.' I am
looking at two potential death penalty cases coming up and I am anxious to put to work
the great experience I had during the weeklong seminar. Words really fail me as to how
important that one week has been to me. Thank you again for helping to make a better me
as well as a better investigator/mitigator. I will be forever grateful to everyone who
participated. "
