Attendees will be provided course notes, work in small groups and receive written feedback and bespoke expert guidance. The emphasis is on the individual attendee carrying out various basic advocacy tasks before a sheriff and receiving personal feedback - it will cover general presentational skills, making submissions, and examination and cross examination of witnesses.
The course has already been run a number of times and has been very well received by attendees. In order to ensure the best possible standards the sessions will be limited to 8 delegates - as spaces are limited and the demand for this course is high early booking…
