NASAA 2025 Litigation Skills Training
(In-Person Only)
The 2025 Litigation Skills Training will be held in October. We’re looking forward to seeing many of you again! The training will be held October 6-9, at the Omni William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The travel days for the training are Sunday, October 5 or Monday, October 6, and the Friday, October 10.
Who Should Attend
Each jurisdiction will receive one dedicated voucher for this training. Attendees should have some trial experience, as this training is aimed at individuals with courtroom or hearing experience.
Training Highlights
The training is an intense trial advocacy program specifically developed for attorneys who are securities regulators. A securities fact pattern will be used for the program and students will hear lectures and view documents on various litigation topics to include opening and closing arguments, presentation of experts, exhibits, impeachment, direct examination, and cross-examination. Students will perform exercises based on the fact pattern with witnesses in a courtroom type setting. They will be critiqued by experienced litigators from NASAA member jurisdictions, including Canada. Individual video critiques will also be provided.
There is a maximum of 56 slots for the training. Participants will be accepted in the order in which they register. If a jurisdiction does not indicate by September 2 that the designated voucher will be used, the voucher will be put in a pool to be used by other jurisdictions to send additional students. It will be necessary that all slots be filled for the program to work effectively. This dedicated voucher may not be used for any other trainings.
