Law Enforcement Officers, Crime Scene Investigators, Laboratory personnel, Records personnel, Evidence personnel and anyone who is new to testifying will benefit from this class. Even those who are just entering the field, still in college will learn valuable skills in this class.

Students will be taught courtroom etiquette, addressing the judge, attorneys and most importantly, the jury.
