You’ve organized the files, met every deadline, and now the big day is here: you are on your way to trial.

How did you get to this day? Developing the skills for successful, intuitive paralegaling can take years. It means knowing what questions to ask, what evidence gaps to look for, and what communication support feels like—both for your boss and their clients. Trials can be long, daunting, and stressful; having a plan and knowing your role can not only help win cases, but also improve morale and reduce the stress of your entire trial team.

Paralegals play a vital role in the litigation trial process. Oftentimes that role will change and shift as the trial progresses, so you need to be on your toes and ready to jump into the action. No task is too small for a trial paralegal, and taking action when you are needed can help preserve your attorney's focus and energy on the most important thing: obtaining justice for the client.

"What were your key takeaways from the program? This course provides a realistic view of the paralegal's duties during a trial. A refresher course for those who have experienced trial, and a glimpse into the process for a new litigation paralegal. Candess shared strategies for "successfully conducting the orchestra". A day in the life view with tips on health and mental strength included. I appreciated her "war room" set up discussion, the use of a bullet journal as a guide, and the small details such as courtroom etiquette, client management and lunch delivery. This is a great session for a paralegal who will be part of a trial team."

"What were your key takeaways from the program? I appreciated learning of Candess's organizational methods, routines, checklists, and experiences of taking a case into trial. Which topics did you find least valuable and why? As a veteran paralegal, I have experience of the stress and tasks that are involved in taking a case to trial. Personally, the emotional component was not news for me, but other attendees would need to consider those issues when entering into the realm of trial."
