About this Event
Improv for Lawyers is a fun, fast-moving workshop filled with on-your-feet exercises designed to boost the real-world skills every attorney need in and out of the courtroom. You’ll practice listening actively, thinking quickly, and communicating with clarity and confidence in a supportive, energizing environment. Plus, you'll earn 3 CLE credits since this is an accredited non-legal subject matter event! Indiana Supreme Court Office of Admissions and Continuing Education Course #376859.
This isn’t a lecture or another Zoom webinar. It’s an engaging, interactive experience that strengthens your presence, professionalism, and adaptability whether you’re handling tough clients, arguing a case, or navigating everyday conversations, or trying to come at problems with a new perspective. You do not have to be funny or a performer, but you will have fun!
