Kirsten L. Meeder Advances Trial Advocacy Skills with NITA Family Law Program

Kogut & Wilson partner Kirsten L. Meeder attended the National Institute for Trial Advocacy’s (NITA) Family Law Trial Skills program, developing core trial advocacy skills structured around child custody matters.

Through NITA’s classroom-based, learn-by-doing approach, Kirsten strengthened her courtroom advocacy by practicing:

• opening and closing arguments,
• direct and cross-examinations,
• witness impeachment, and
• the effective use of exhibits.

The program concluded with mock bench trials.

Building on her strong foundation in family law litigation, Kirsten continues to deepen her trial experience and refine the skills needed to handle every phase of trial with confidence. She represents individuals in all aspects of family and matrimonial law, focusing on marital property disputes, spousal and child support as well as parenting time allocation.

For over 50 years, NITA has provided personalized trial advocacy training and coaching by  veritable advocacy experts, including trial lawyers, judges, and law professors, from coast to coast.
