SAVE THE DATE: 109th Detroit Mercy Law Review Symposium: From Theory to Practice: Mastering the Art of Effective Legal Advocacy
Friday, March 7, 2025, Time: TBD, University of Detroit Mercy School of Law
Effective legal advocacy refers to the art of persuasively using the law to represent clients, resolve disputes, and promote justice. Effective legal advocacy entails more than just a mastery of legal principles; it requires the strategic acumen to apply them persuasively in a diverse and often high-stakes environment. Whether orally advocating for clients in courtrooms, negotiating complex transactions, or crafting and presenting compelling legal arguments, successful advocacy goes beyond technical proficiency—it demands a deep understanding of human behavior, communication, and ethics.
