Presented by

Sarah Wolking, Esq.

Professor Sarah Wolking, a graduate of Princeton University, obtained her J.D. from Boston University School of Law in 1992. Prof. Wolking joined the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office in 1992 where she prosecuted over 40 jury trials during her 12 year tenure. As an Assistant United States Attorney in Oakland between 2000 and 2001, Prof. Wolking prosecuted one felony jury trial involving a large-scale distribution of drugs and firearms. As an Instructor at Stanford Law School, Prof. Wolking has taught Intensive Advocacy Skills Workshop since 1996, and presently teaches Evidence at San Francisco Law School.

This elective approaches complex evidentiary issues by demonstrating how to use the rules of evidence in a courtroom. Applying the rules of evidence through role-playing exercises, students will master the fundamental skills of direct and cross-examination. The goal of this course is to bridge the gap between the technical requirements of the rules of evidence and the practical uses to which the rules may pertain. The course will be conducted at the Alameda County Superior Court (1225 Fallon Street) in Oakland.
