Tuition for this three-day program is $1,800. Fees include course materials, daily lunch and refreshments. Travel, lodging and other meals are not included. Pre-registration for the program is required by May 1st, 2011 to ensure timely distribution and review of program materials prior to its commencement so that participants are able to maximize their opportunity to experience hands-on trial practice.
