Lawyers Seek Dramatic Improvement
A course presented by a professional Vancouver theatre company is proving to be very popular with members of the Vancouver Bar. Touchstone Theatre is offering its performance expertise to the legal community with its workshop Advocacy Skills: The Power of Performance. The September course in Vancouver sold out quickly, so an additional two-day course has been added on November 23 and 24.

Advocacy Skills: The Power of Performance is designed to teach lawyers how to implement simple, concrete techniques that will maximize their natural expressiveness and give them the critical persuasive edge. These skills enhance the performance of all lawyers at trial, in mediation, in arbitration, and in legal arguments in general.

For more information on the November workshop, visit www.touchstonetheatre.com/training.htm or call 604-709-9973 for more details. Touchstone can also arrange in-house courses for individual firms upon request. Attendance at this training qualifies as continuing education for annual Law Society of B.C. reports.
