Description

Where the Crawdads Sing is a novel that has sold over 15 million copies and has been adapted into a best-selling movie.  In this murder mystery Catherine "Kya" Clark is accused of murdering Chase Andrews after their relationship ended.  

We will examine the trial by reviewing clips of this movie and discussing the trial tactics by the prosecutor and defense.   We will determine whether a motion to suppress would have been successful in this case.  We will learn litigation skills by reviewing the opening and closing arguments, the direct and the cross-examination of  various witnesses and the alibi defense.  

Attorneys will learn ten tips on how to deal with difficult clients. Finally, attendees will examine why Kya did not report a sexual assault to the police and whether this failure to report is common in today’s society.  

The goal of this program is for attendees to learn litigation skills while discussing this amazing story.
