Business AttireEvent Details
You are invited to our Introduction to Advocacy Session.
The purpose of the session is to give you a ‘safe space’ in which to hone your advocacy skills and to ask the questions you were previously too embarrassed to ask.
The session will last about 90 minutes and will all be conducted online by experienced practitioners and advocacy trainers.
Advocacy
Prior to the session you will receive instructions to make a Bail Application or a plea in mitigation. Please prepare; without preparation the session will be of little value.
We will be in groups of around 5-6 delegates and we will try to ensure that everyone is given an opportunity to perform the exercise.
These sessions are not marked; they are conducted in private so that you can relax and try to enjoy the opportunity to practice your developing art.
We anticipate that the advocacy will last around 60 minutes.
Questions
The last third of the session will be dedicated to trying to answer any questions that you may have about anything that concerns you AND that relate to life at the Bar.
It would be helpful to everyone if you could submit those questions in advance to Kart@psqb.co.uk
We look forward to meeting you all on 19th March.
