Description
Written advocacy is a fundamental aspect of legal practice, complementing oral advocacy in presenting a persuasive and well-reasoned case. A clear, persuasive, and structured presentation of legal arguments, serves as a permanent record that guides judicial reasoning and enhances the efficiency of proceedings.
This Course requires participants to submit their written work to the trainers one week before the course, based on case studies which will be provided to the participants in advance. The course will commence with presentations on effective written advocacy from the perspective of a Judge and also of an Advocate.
It will then be followed by personal, individualised and comprehensive reviews of the written work submitted by experienced advocates and judges. Participants will then be given the opportunity to rework their written submissions based on the feedback given and deliver them to the trainers for a further review on the subsequent day.
The training utilised in this course follows closely the training method adopted for the advocacy training courses organised by the Committee and will cover aspects which the trainers feel would assist to improve the written advocacy of the individual advocate.
