Psychodrama is the foundational component of every program offered by Trial Lawyers College

J.L. Moreno, the father of Psychodrama, described psychodrama as the "scientific exploration of truth through dramatic methods." The approach, which is grounded in principles of creativity and spontaneity, combines sociometry, group dynamics, and role theory to evoke cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses in those participating in the psychodrama. Beginning in 1994, the Trial Lawyers College initially included psychodrama sessions to help trial lawyers cope with the difficulties of their profession. The founders and faculty immediately saw the similarities with trial preparation and presentation and began the development of the Trial Lawyers College Method which integrates the psychodramatic methods into trial preparation, client assistance, witness development, and the presentation of trial skills in every phase of the trial. Psychodrama is now a foundational component of every program offered by the Trial Lawyers College.

Are you willing to participate in psychodrama?*

Yes No

If no, please explain.*

Please list any reasons that may cause you issues in participating with psychodrama.
