The Advocacy course takes place on the Saturday, though part of the course is a case analysis session which is usually held up to two and a half weeks prior to the weekend. In addition to the case analysis session, a skeleton argument is to be handed in.

The course comprises a single exercise which will provide enough material for practical training throughout the day, and is accredited with 9 hours of advocacy, and 3 hours of case preparation. A fee will be payable to offset the administrative cost of the programme. Preference for the limited places on the course is automatically given to members of the Inn.

Ethics

The Ethics course takes place on the Sunday, and is accredited with 3 hours of Ethics, 1 hour of case preparation. A fee will be payable to offset the administrative cost of the programme. Places on the course are allocated on a "first come, first served" basis.
