Mastering advocacy can be challenging as it often takes place in high-risk and complex situations, requiring on the spot thinking. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) emphasises the importance of maintaining advocacy skills to ensure excellence in practice.
Our masterclass workshop series is designed to help you reflect on your current abilities, identify areas for improvement, and work to improve your skills and confidence in preparation for the next time you appear before the court.
These interactive, online workshops, each two hours long and led by expert Fiona Donnelly, will focus on examination-in-chief, cross-examination and re-examination, and submissions and arguments. They will explore these areas by looking at the practical application of legal principles and techniques in courtroom settings. You will be given a pre-prepared case study to apply your learning to and will receive personalised feedback from Fiona.
Take this opportunity to become confident in court by learning through doing and gain insights from your own performance and the feedback provided to your peers. Book your place now to enhance your advocacy skills and ensure your success in the courtroom! Agendas coming soon.
