Delegates

This course will be of benefit to those wanting to gain confidence to undertake their own advocacy, whether entirely new to this type of work or wishing to build confidence.

Overview

The course will give you the skills and the confidence necessary to become an effective family law advocate. You will be provided with case studies for advance preparation, and given plenty of time on the day to practice core skills in a ‘safe’ environment.

By the end of this course you will be able to:

  • Prepare effectively for advocacy
  • Understand how to make effective submissions
  • Apply a great opening to a case
  • Understand the key to good examination-in-chief
  • Utilise effective cross-examination
  • Describe the purpose of re-examination
  • Please note: although the skills are transferable the case studies used on this course relate only to domestic abuse and Children Act 2020 cases. An extensive knowledge of substantive family law is NOT necessary.
