Aprašymas

The Skills of Modern Advocacy provides a comprehensive practical guide to modern advocacy, explaining its core components and demonstrating how you can develop and apply the necessary skillsets in practice.

Presented as an engaging mix of explanation and practical examples, each aspect of modern-day advocacy is considered in three stages to suit all readers: the essential rules, practical how-to demonstrations and advanced technique. The book begins with an introduction to the language and etiquette of advocacy before moving to the important witness handling skills involved in examination-in-chief, cross-examination, re-examination and dealing with expert witnesses. The different skills involved in submission advocacy are then addressed in three main areas before the book gives guidance on the separate topics of questioning vulnerable witnesses, remote advocacy and written advocacy. The final chapter deals with the special court environment of the Inquest, an area where new barristers can often expect to receive instructions. The chapters draw repeatedly on a substantial set of mock case documents to give the skills demonstrations a consistent sense of context and realism.

The authors have been practising barristers since the mid-1990s, and the book is packed with their combined experience and skills.

This book will appeal to interested school and college students with little or no experience, to undergraduate law students and students of advocacy on Bar or solicitor training courses, or the SQE, and to newly qualified advocates who wish to deepen their knowledge and expand their skills.

The book is supported by further online resources.
