Aspen Publishing has partnered with Rhetoric to bring CICERO, a practice platform for law schools that helps students build real communication and advocacy skills through realistic, repeatable practice—without replacing human judgment.
Built by legal professionals and educators, CICERO supports active learning through simulations that mirror authentic legal tasks, from cold calls to oral arguments and interviews.
CICERO is a skills-based practice platform that allows students to engage in realistic legal communication tasks and receive immediate, rubric-aligned feedback.
Students respond through video or written submissions, ensuring genuine work and protecting academic integrity, while faculty retain control over expectations, rubrics, and learning goals.
CICERO offers dynamic modules that can be customized to align with course objectives, competencies, or institutional goals.
Practice responding to rapid-fire questions from judges in challenging appellate argument simulations.
Prepare for Socratic-method questioning with simulations that reflect different
instructor styles.
Refine legal arguments through structured sessions focused on clarity, persuasiveness, and legal logic.
Practice behavioral interview questions and legal hypotheticals common in law firm interviews.
Develop clarity and persuasion by organizing case facts, legal issues, and arguments for judges, clients, or colleagues.
Practice both taking and defending depositions, with a focus on strategic questioning and precise testimony.
