Description
A person who has been convicted of a crime has options for seeking additional relief from the criminal justice system including filing an appeal. This forum will cover, among others, the relevant provisions concerning the criminal appeal process, and how to study the bulk of records of appeal.
The trainer will deal with:
- issues involved in a criminal appeal (matters concerning law and facts);
- procedural calamity during trial;
- the practice of good advocacy (oral and written);
- preparation of petition and written submission;
- the ABC Rules and enthusiasm; and
- the hints of a good oral submission.
The focus of this interactive forum is to raise awareness about the details of handling criminal appeals, and will serve as a guide to legal practitioners in this field. Participants will be encouraged to use this as an opportunity to consult with the trainer about specific situations they are dealing with or may have dealt with.
