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. After purchasing, students can request an access code by emailing support@aspenpublishing.com.

Trial and Oral Advocacy includes access to the following three Cicero modules:

• Hot Bench Simulation - Practice responding to rapid‑fire questions from judges in challenging appellate argument simulations. This module supports video, audio, and text input, allowing you to develop clarity, composure, and strong legal reasoning in a realistic setting.
• Legal Case Presentation - Master the art of presenting legal cases with clarity and persuasiveness. Practice organizing case facts, legal issues, and arguments for judges, clients, or colleagues.
• Oral Augments - Practice and refine oral arguments with structured sessions focused on clarity and persuasion. Receive feedback on legal logic and delivery.
