THIS COURSE IS AUDIO ONLY!

This unique seminar began with an observation of an oral argument (not recorded), followed by a discussion of the arguing attorneys involved in the case. Sessions include panels and presentations on oral argument, briefs, and discretionary review, as well as a tour of the Florida Supreme Court building. The Justices will join the seminar for a question-and-answer discussion.
