This page from the 1997 Legacy yearbook captures dynamic scenes from the Intensive Trial Advocacy Program (ITAP) at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, a hallmark of practical legal training. Through immersive simulations and hands-on courtroom experience, students honed their litigation skills in a fast-paced and supportive environment. The photographs show students delivering arguments, receiving feedback, and participating in mock trials—highlighting the energy, focus, and collaboration that define the program. A playful caption—"Sami Groff and her witness – You go girl!"—adds a personal touch to this formative academic experience.
