  • A refresher on effective evidence gathering, witness statement-taking and model statements
  • Hints on effective drafting of papers and model precedents
  • Tips on effective advocacy in court
  • An opportunity for advocacy role play and group discussion
  • A practical question and answer session

Note: Preparation for Advocacy is undertaken in groups by the whole group. Actual Advocacy role play is undertaken by representatives of the group.
