Winning Objections was written by three coaches, with help from over twenty trial attorneys, students, and alumni.

Meet your objection coaches.

Hi, we’re Brian, Amanda, and Emily. Before we became lawyers, we competed in college at the national level. Then, we coached mock trial — for middle schoolers, high schoolers, college students, and law students. Now, we’re sharing some of the most important lessons we learned along the way.
