Students Share Their Perspectives About Advocacy Program
In recent times, more than 300 students have enrolled annually in 30 sections of 17 different Advocacy Program courses.
The Stephen S. Weinstein Advocacy Program trains students in all forms of legal advocacy, including trial and appellate litigation, alternative dispute resolution, and transactional negotiations. The Advocacy Program is currently ranked 3rd nationally in the 2021 U.S. News and World Report and has been one of the best advocacy programs for over a decade.
Success of the program is due, in large part, to the more than 100 legal professionals who teach, coach, and volunteer to support our mission. Area practitioners and judges impart their vast expertise as they teach a wide range of advocacy courses and skilled lawyers have coached student teams to more than 25 national championships over the last 8 years.
