Take authenticity and truth into the courtroom to give your clients a winning edge!
The 10th Anniversary gathering of this three-and-a-half day workshop, facilitated by actor and trial consultant Joshua Karton, trial lawyer Michael Leizerman, and Zen Abbot Rinsen Roshi, fuses theater skills, martial arts, and mindfulness training to connect with a jury and win cases.
If you've attended in the past, the workshop now has a silent retreat component.
The first night includes a gourmet meal and socializing. After that, participants are awakened by a bell and are silent other than during workshops. Rest periods and mindful email time is part of the schedule.
Venue
The workshop will be held at the Zen Buddhist Temple of Toledo at 3902 Emmajean Road, Toledo, OH 43607. You are welcome to free lodging in a men’s, women’s or non-gender identified bunk room. There are men’s, women’s and non-gender identified restrooms and showers. There are 7 bunks (14 beds) per room. The mattresses are comfortable.
Staying at the temple is an important part of the experience, but there are also inexpensive (but new and clean) hotel rooms on Secor Road, about 3 miles (10 minutes by car) away at the Residence Inn by Marriott and the Holiday Inn Express.
Nobody will be turned away for lack of finances. Lawyers, especially those who work in public interest, are encouraged to apply for a half or full scholarship.
