NDAA’s Trial Advocacy Academy 101 Series - Closing Arguments
Join Us Virtually
Crafting and delivering a compelling closing argument is one of the most powerful skills a prosecutor can develop. As the final opportunity to persuade the jury, the closing argument must weave together your case theory, evidence, credibility, and logic in a clear and compelling narrative.
In this session of NDAA’s Trial Advocacy Academy 101 Series attendees will learn the core principles behind powerful closing arguments and gain practical strategies for preparing and presenting a summation with clarity and impact. Attendees will explore how to structure an effective argument, highlight essential evidence, address defense themes, and make a confident, ethical appeal for justice.
Join us on April 23, 2026, for an engaging, skill‑building session designed to strengthen your courtroom advocacy and help you deliver closing arguments that leave a lasting impression when it matters most.
*NDAA’s Trial Advocacy Academy 101 Series is ideal for prosecutors with limited trial experience who are looking to enhance their trial advocacy skills.
