Lobbying and Advocacy
Winning Strategies, Resources, Recommendations, Ethics and Ongoing Compliance for Lobbyists and Washington Advocates

Congressional Directory 2008

"Keith Evans, the author of Common Sense Rules of Advocacy for Lawyers, is an experienced trial lawyer. He has studied the game from the inside and he has seen things others have missed. He has distilled his experience and offers it up in the brisk aphoristic style that brought him his success in the courtroom. The book is a valuable review for the old timers and an excellent primer for those who are starting the climb."
-- Jacob A. Stein, Stein, Mitchell & Mezines, Washington, DC

"This is a terrific guidebook that should be followed by all young trial lawyers. While it is true that these rules are based upon common sense and that most seasoned trial lawyers will figure them out over time, this book will allow young advocates to benefit from all the painful lessons learned by inexperienced lawyers before them."
-- Philip H. Corboy, Corboy & Demetrio, Chicago, IL

Congressional Deskbook: The Practical and Comprehensive Guide to Congress Fifth Edition

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

"The Deskbook is a highly readable, timely and comprehensive resource on Congressional operations and procedures. It is a consistently reliable tool for any student of Congress and any legislative practitioner, regardless of their level of experience."
-- Martin B. Gold, Covington & Burling, Washington, DC

"The Congressional Deskbook is perfect for anyone who wants to understand how Congress works. It is concise, clarion clear and comprehensive all at once. It is spare and crisp -- but it never oversimplifies. It is written in lay language, but it never 'dumbs it down.' The Congressional Deskbook is a unique tool, one that I use regularly."
-- David Hawkings, Senior Editor, Congressional Quarterly

* Custom, On-Site Training

 

Custom, On-Site Training
All of our programs can be tailored for private on-site training.

We can tailor our exclusive Congressional Quarterly Executive Conferences for your organization.

If your in-house government relations pros don't have time to train, our custom training can give your staff a leg up and help new people fit into your Washington operations.  We design each custom training program to meet your educational and training goals, and then select faculty who can best meet those objectives and who are best suited for your attendees.

We have tailored hundreds of private on-site training programs for agencies, law and lobbying firms, unions, foreign delegations, associations and corporations that show how Washington works.^TM   For example, many associations and coalitions rely on us to increase the effectiveness of their annual Capitol Hill Day programs.

Custom training from TheCapitol.Net is unique:

Our materials--We provide both training and publications that show how Washington works. Our publications were designed to be used as course materials in our programs and as reference tools. Each attendee leaves our programs with the knowledge they gained from the course plus valuable reference materials for the future.

Our faculty--We have more than 150 faculty members who are all independent subject matters experts. We are able to design a program and select the best faculty member for each session.

We are non-partisan and the exclusive provider of Congressional Quarterly Executive Conferences.

See our Sample Agendas for a few examples of programs tailored for our custom, on-site clients, and see what our clients say about our custom on-site training.
