[Bookings will open at 10:00 AM on Wednesday 31 March and close at midnight on Wednesday 14 April]
Please join two lawyers with many years of advocacy experience between them, Master Brian Leveson and Master Sheila Block, as they take you through the challenges of advocacy. They will not only remind you of the fundamentals, but will touch on the nuances that make for effective advocacy. Their conversation will cover how to arrive at a case theory; opening (telling the story); how to prepare your client for the challenge of giving evidence without coaching; how to get the most out of your witnesses; how to anticipate what might bother a fair-minded judge.
Expect to leave with a fresh understanding of persuasive advocacy.
This event is for members only.
