Session 1 ~
Getting started with good practices
This session will set the foundation for the rest of the Courtroom Preparation and Technology module. We will explore strategies for organizing information from the web and for improving proficiency in electronic communication. We'll get introduced to Microsoft Office and Google Docs as platforms for creating our working files.

Session 2 ~
Creating your professional presence
This session will develop the principles of looking good in print—both on the screen and paper. This session will introduce electronic spreadsheets as a tool for performing calculations and “what-if” analyses. We will also continue to develop our familiarity with Microsoft Powerpoint in preparation for next week's in-class presentations.

Session 3 ~
Preparing a courtroom exhibit and a
ssembling your digital portfolio
In this session, you'll draw upon the major concepts and skills from the previous sessions and give your own presentation. We'll discuss the value of a professional web presence and wrap up with resources for staying informed and for working independently.


How to use this site: For each of the three sessions in this module, there is an overview page, content page (what we'll do in class), assignments page, link to tests (these will be delivered online during class), and a page for reading & preparation. There are no pre-requisite readings for the first session, but you can preview the readings for upcoming sessions. We'll read two chapters from the text book and use selected web sites as supplemental resources. The syllabus will be updated as the course proceeds to include new resources that match your individual needs and goals.
