LAWYER SKILLS TRAINING THROUGH ROLE PLAYING

THEY improv provides a variety of lawyer skills training for depositions utilizing role playing with professional actors assisting attorneys and others in the law firm through practicing in controlled environments. Giving an attorney an opportunity to try a variety of techniques in real-world scenarios can help hone their skills in a safe setting. For others in the firm, such as paralegals, providing simulations can also assist in making them comfortable in this environment and prevent potential errors of protocol.


Through role playing, our professional actors can assist attorneys in a variety of ways to simulate situations that they will find themselves in. We can walk them through those scenarios and make them more comfortable with it for when the real event will occur.


Developing the skills required for being a quality attorney takes a lot more than is taught in law school. The first time that an attorney enters a courtroom, everything is new. Each person that they interact with is a new challenge and often the younger attorneys can be taken by surprise, and it is their clients that are harmed.


For attorneys looking to rehearse a deposition, THEY improv can provide actors to simulate the circumstances of depositions in general or a specific environment that might be away from the norm. After all, depositions can take place in unusual locations or under strange circumstances with bizarre characters. The participants in the room can be off-putting and the human element can prove costly. For this reason we can not only rehearse the attorney, but support staff as well. This can raise the professionalism of your law firm and enhance the potential outcome. After all, there is often a certain theatrical element to depositions seeking to intimidate opposing counsel or show the seriousness of an action.

MASK WORK
We utilize a concept in acting called Mask Work. The idea is that when you are playing a character, you can feel free to not be self conscious because the person behind the mask of the character isn't being judged. We can still play the guilt, remorse, deception, anger, or other qualities that the character would have, just without the person playing the character pre-judging their actions. This allows for a more accurate portrayal of role-playing. Non-actors don't understand that concept and can give their performance more of a flat feel.

We work with the attorney to determine what the particular goals are and then bring the appropriate cast to help them achieve that goal within a specified budget.
