What: LACDL's Trial Lawyers Workshop: Voir Dire
When: March 20-21, 2026
Where: Hotel Bentley, Alexandria, LA
This is not your regular lecture CLE. This is trial prep with real stakes. The LACDL Trial Lawyers Workshop: Voir Dire is a two-day, hands-on training designed for attorneys who have jury trials coming up in the next 60 days and want to sharpen their voir dire skills using live cases, not hypotheticals.
How It Works
Day 1: 5 hours of focused instruction on voir dire strategy, theory, and execution, followed by 2 hours of mock jury work applying what you’ve learned.
Day 2: 4 additional hours of mock jury practice with direct feedback from experienced trial lawyers and peers.
You’ll work through your own upcoming case, refine your jury selection approach, and practice asking the questions that actually matter - in a room that lets you experiment, adjust, and get better before you step into the courtroom.
Who Should Attend
- Attorneys with jury trials scheduled between late March and May 2026 who want to prepare using their own live cases.
- Lawyers who want more confidence and control during voir dire
- Anyone who feels like jury selection is high-stakes but under-practiced
Why this workshop is different
You’re not watching someone else pick a jury. You’re doing it. You’re not practicing with canned facts. You’re preparing for your real case. You’re not leaving with abstract tips. You’re leaving with a plan.
In past offerings of this workshop, attendees have gone straight from the training into trial … and won! Not because of luck. Because they were prepared.
What you’ll leave with
- A clearer voir dire strategy tailored to your case
- Tested questions and themes you’re confident using
- Practical experience reading jurors and managing the room
- Feedback you can’t get from a book or a lecture
If you have a trial on the horizon and want to walk into jury selection sharper, calmer, and more intentional, this workshop is for YOU. Only 24 spaces are available, so please reserve your spot now!
