Level 4 · 6 weeks · 100% online
Advanced Systems & Trial Simulation
Evidence authentication, e-discovery, transcripts, and litigation AI under fire.
Level Four · 100% online · 6 weeks + capstone · completed with a live oral defense.
The advanced litigation track. You’ll authenticate digital evidence in the age of deepfakes, run defensible technology-assisted review, work transcript intelligence, use outcome modeling within its limits, and draft at the appellate standard. The capstone is a simulated litigation work product — built, verified, and defended live before faculty.
Prerequisite: Level Two (Research & Drafting).
What you'll study
Week 1
Evidence and Authentication in the Age of AI
When anything can be fabricated, provenance is everything.
Week 2
e-Discovery and Technology-Assisted Review
AI in discovery — established, supervised, and defensible.
Week 3
Transcript Intelligence and Deposition Preparation
Turning the record into leverage, with citations.
Week 4
Outcome and Verdict Modeling — Uses and Limits
Predictive analytics as a decision aid, not an oracle.
Week 5
Appellate Drafting and Record Analysis
Precision work where verification is non-negotiable.
Week 6
Trial Simulation Capstone and the Live Oral Defense
Integrate everything; then defend it before faculty.
Completion requires finishing all modules and passing the final exam (80%+), followed by a live oral defense with faculty.
