2014 Educating Advocates: Teaching Advocacy Skills

May 20-22, 2014

Stetson University College of Law
Gulfport, Fla.

Stetson's annual Educating Advocates: Teaching Advocacy Skills conference will take place Tuesday-Thursday, May 20-22, 2014, on our beautiful campus in Gulfport, Fla. This year's theme is "Advocacy Programs in the Incredible Shrinking Law School." Attendees will spend three days developing their teaching skills, learning new techniques, and networking with some of the most recognized names in advocacy teaching. Everyone will leave well-equipped to empower their students to become better advocates. 

We will continue our practice of inviting vendors to update you on the latest developments in advocacy-related products and teaching materials. The vendors will be available to answer any questions.

Stetson annually celebrates the contributions of a member of our legal profession with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Teaching Advocacy. We will present the award during a dinner on the second evening of the conference. Check back for more information on who will be honored in 2014.
