Event Details: 

Booking for this QS will open at 18:00 on 4 June 2020
  • Only current BPTC students (or those who’ve completed the course and are yet to be Called) are eligible.
  • You must be able to participate online with a working camera and microphone.
  • You can only book ONE session.  If you already booked/attended an online Advocacy traingin session you cannot book another.
  • The exercise that will be used is the same one from Cumberland Lodge/York. That is not to say you cannot book a place if you’ve been on one of these weekends if you feel you benefit.

The day's training will be focussed on developing advocacy skills. A high level of preparation and participation is expected from each student.

The tuition is provided principally by busy practitioners, judges, and academics, all volunteers giving up their Saturday, and  also by senior members of the Inn who  are no longer practising  but who have had years of experience at the Bar.

Further details and access to the bundle for preparation will be emailed to those wo have got places.

Dress Code:

Smart-casual.  At a normal advocacy weekend, the training sessions are relatively informal., so the same applies here.  We don't expect attendees to be dressed in suits, we do expect you to look presentable.

We expect you to be able to participate with audio and video, so all attendees can be seen.

Guests:

This event is for members only.
