Advocacy Basics for Solicitors PDF

Advocacy Basics for Solicitors has an unashamedly "how-to-do-it" emphasis. It was deliberately designed as a basic advocacy manual to help beginning solicitors, newly admitted barristers and articled clerks, together with those more experienced solicitors who may need help in preparing for an unfamiliar aspect of courtroom practice.
It contains no long treatises on the law, nor any extensive case lists or footnotes. Quite simply, this book focuses upon the procedures, practices, protocols and courtesies of the courtroom. It should help relieve the anxieties often suffered by inexperienced legal practitioners.
It is, in fact, the book that we wish we had had access to when we took our first tentative steps into courtroom advocacy, pumping our more experienced colleagues for all possible gems of useful knowledge about what was before us.
First published in 1993, this very useful book is now available as a high quality PDF.
