Summer Trial Institute

College of Law

August 4 - 16, 2024

University of Wyoming College of Law offers a Summer Trial Institute for a learn-by-doing experienceSummer Trial Institute is an intensive two-week trial advocacy course that brings leading trial attorneys from across the state and country into the courtroom with UW College of Law rising 3L students.

This is truly a learn-by-doing experience. Week one focuses on trial skills and all things trial work. Two days are devoted to the voire dire — or jury selection — process.

In the second week, students argue motions and other issues at a pretrial conference, conduct a bench trial, and lawyer in a jury trial with volunteer jurors.

Skills are continually refined through direct feedback from peers and seasoned lawyers who are also future employers. The course culminates with a jury trial before sitting Wyoming judges. Scholarship awards are presented for outstanding student achievement.
