A highly recommended practical course, it is participative and gives you the opportunity to develop your analytical abilities and practice your presentation and advocacy skills. You spend the two days learning the skills needed to prepare and present a case from beginning to end. You will look at how the law is structured, how to use reference materials, weigh up evidence and the balance of probabilities through to the appeal system procedures including adjournments.

The course is both very demanding and hugely enjoyable.
