Description
The Bar Council Advocacy Training Committee is organising an Intermediate Advocacy Training Course. It is a practical course aimed at advocates in their 3rd to 7th year of practice.
A unique feature of this course is that participants will conduct a simulated live trial on the last day of the course. The course will also teach other aspects of in court trial practice including:
1) Summary judgment submissions;
2) Examination-in-chief and cross-examination;
3) Conduct of a trial in a live setting; and
4) After-trial submissions.
Participants will be given personalised feedback and learn from experienced trial lawyers and judges who teach as volunteer advocacy trainers. Performances are also video-recorded and individually reviewed.
If you have done the basic Advocacy Training Course conducted by the Advocacy Training Committee, and are looking to further enhance your skills, the Intermediate Course is for you. Prior completion of the basic Advocacy Training Course is
recommended, but not essential.
The course carries points for trainers, facilitators and participants, under the Bar Council Continuing Professional Development (“CPD”) Scheme.
Places are limited and registration is on a first come, first served basis. Members are encouraged to register early to secure a place.
