View Agency

Founded in 1950, the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) is a national, non-partisan, non-profit membership association that provides training, technical assistance, and services to prosecutors around the country in support of the prosecution profession. Proudly supporting over 6,000 members nationwide, NDAA represents state and local prosecutors’ offices in rural, urban and suburban jurisdictions. NDAA serves as a nationwide, interdisciplinary resource center for research, training, knowledge building, and accountability as it works to promote the fair administration of justice. Governed by a Board of Directors made up of appointees chosen by states’ prosecuting associations and current and past NDAA officers, our executive leadership, staff, and board members routinely provide expert policy advice, data, and testimony to the United States Congress and the Executive Branch on a wide variety of criminal justice issues. NDAA also provides amicus curiae briefs to the United States Supreme Court on decisions that impact the work of prosecutors throughout the country to maintain a high standard of ethics and professional responsibility. As the leading source of national expertise on the prosecution function, NDAA is a valuable resource not for our members, but also for the media, academia, government, and the communities our members serve.

Training and Workshop

Event Overview

Crafting and delivering a compelling closing argument is one of the most powerful skills a prosecutor can develop. As the final opportunity to persuade the jury, the closing argument must weave together your case theory, evidence, credibility, and logic in a clear and compelling narrative.

In this session of NDAA’s Trial Advocacy Academy 101 Series attendees will learn the core principles behind powerful closing arguments and gain practical strategies for preparing and presenting a summation with clarity and impact. Attendees will explore how to structure an effective argument, highlight essential evidence, address defense themes, and make a confident, ethical appeal for justice.

Join us on April 23, 2026, for an engaging, skill‑building session designed to strengthen your courtroom advocacy and help you deliver closing arguments that leave a lasting impression when it matters most.

*NDAA’s Trial Advocacy Academy 101 Series is ideal for prosecutors with limited trial experience who are looking to enhance their trial advocacy skills.
