Continuing education students have access to classes covering a wide range of legal subjects, including writing briefs, filing motions, examining witnesses, and building trial skills. Some classes can be accessed in an online format, while others are available on a state-by-state basis at various local settings such as universities, courthouses, and resort conferences.
