The Law Review at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law will host the 109th Law Review Symposium on Friday, March 7 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. This event will be taking place in-person at the school’s downtown location, 651 East Jefferson Avenue in Detroit.
This year’s symposium is titled “From Theory to Practice: Mastering the Art of Effective Legal Advocacy.” The Detroit Mercy Law Review welcomes legal professionals, students, academics, scholars, practitioners, and other stakeholders from across the country to discuss topics involving effective legal advocacy.
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.
This symposium topic seeks to delve into the nuanced skills, methodologies, and strategic innovations that transform legal theory into effective advocacy. By fostering a dialogue among leading practitioners and scholars, the symposium aims to explore how young lawyers can develop the necessary advocacy skills to excel in litigation or transactional practice, focusing on advanced strategies and techniques that proffer successful client outcomes both in and out of the courtroom. Participants will gain insights into not only the practical mechanics of advocacy, but also the broader implications for justice, policy, and societal change.
Registration for the symposium is required but is free and open to the public.
