About the Seminar:
A discussion of some practices which are regularly seen in the civil courts which, at worst, show a disregard for the rules of civil advocacy, evidence or civil litigation, or at least are guaranteed to irritate your sheriff, and how to avoid them. The talk will focus on issues which arise from written pleadings, procedural short-fallings and the treatment of certain approaches to evidence.
