About TLC's Graduate II Course - 2025

Mastering the Art of Storytelling in Trial

Learn how to craft and present powerful stories with psychodrama, TLC methods and MOTH.
Graduate Course II is an intensive one-week seminar that builds on the foundational principles of psychodrama and TLC methods you learned at the 3-week College. It is designed to help you develop advanced trial skills and a deeper understanding of story structure and storytelling in all phases of the trial. Whether working on a civil or criminal case, you will learn how to identify the essential elements of your client’s story and present them effectively during trials, hearings, mediations, and other crucial legal settings.

Graduate Course II is a highly collaborative and experiential course that offers a unique opportunity to work with top TLC faculty and special guests from the non-profit storytelling project The Moth. You will work in small groups and practice your skills on your own cases. You will receive constructive feedback and guidance from experienced TLC-trained trial lawyers and licensed, certified psychodramatists. By the end of the course, you will have a clear and powerful story that can inspire and persuade any audience.
TLC-trained trial lawyers have proven time and again how the chances of winning dramatically increase if the jurors can better experience what the client has experienced using the TLC Method.

Tuition Includes: TLC method training in both large and small groups, buffet style meals as indicated on the agenda and shared guest rooms. Attendees must secure their own transportation. 

To make this course the most impactful event it can be, space is limited to 50 participants.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
Given the high cost of providing courses at easily accessible venues nationwide and those venues’ strict cancellation policies, TLC has had to make changes to its cancellation policy. To lessen the impact of this change in policy on our tribe, we offer the following options: 
1. In the case where a student needs to cancel, they have 31 days prior to the course to cancel and receive a full refund. If it is after the 31-day deadline, to receive a full refund they may contact Brooklyn@triallawyerscollege.org with the name of a replacement student who is prepared to take their place. This is especially important to cover the cost of the committed lodging. After the replacement student completes registration including full payment, a full refund will be processed. 
2. If no replacement is found for their reserved spot prior to the program, we will apply 50% of the paid tuition as a credit towards a future program, to be used within one year, and use the other 50% towards the unused lodging expense of the course cancelled. If you have any questions, please contact Brooklyn@triallawyerscollege.org.
