Required pre-reading will be sent to registered attendees two weeks prior to the course start date. It is recommended that you set aside at least one day to properly review material prior to attendance. Subject to availability, participants may have the opportunity to register after the official registration deadline. However, please note that this will result in a reduced timeframe to complete the required reading.

In this intensive online advocacy course you will increase your skills in Family Law matters with personalised and effective advocacy. Using a contested hearing as a template, you will practise and receive skills advice in case analysis, preparation, performance preparation, effective examination, cross-examination and persuasive argument.

The course is built for legal practitioners who appear before the family courts regularly and consists of a combination of interactive general sessions and performance sessions in breakout groups.

Participants are recommended to complete no more than one Solicitor Advocate Course per calendar year.
