Advanced Advocacy Summer Program

Mitchell Hamline School of Law and the Center For Law and Business (C-LAB) cordially invite Bahçeşehir University and the University of Greenwich faculty, students, and alumni to attend the Advanced Advocacy Summer Program from Saturday, May 22, 2021 to Friday, May 28, 2021.

Participants from Bahçeşehir and Greenwich are invited to join at any time and observe the highly regarded program for free.  This offers the opportunity to observe students in the United States work on their advocacy skills in real-time with constructive feedback from a variety of American adjunct professors who are skilled litigators.  The hypothetical fact pattern law students will be using is an intellectual property and contract case.

If you are interested, please contact Hester Burnige (H.Burnige@greenwich.ac.uk) at the University of Greenwhich or Feridun Yenisey (feridun.yenisey@law.bau.edu.tr) at Bahçeşehir University. Your respective contact can provide the syllabus and required course materials.

Every day at noon Minnesota Central Time (17:00 in Greenwich and 20:00 in Istanbul), we will have a 30-minute interactive session to discuss the program or raise issues about effective advocacy.  Professor Sonsteng and Professor Willow Anderson will host those sessions.

Observers can join the main Zoom meeting each day at:
