The weekend focuses on an intense programme of advocacy workshops with students working in groups of six, each taught by an experienced trainer. There is also ample opportunity to meet practitioners and judges in a social environment.
The price includes the cost of the whole weekend (transport from London to Cumberland Lodge and back, accommodation and food). Wine is provided with dinner and there is a cash bar.
Places on the advocacy weekends are limited and for this reason they are allocated by ballot, with priority given to current Bar Course students.
