About the Book

It goes without saying that to be a successful advocate the skill of advocacy has be mastered. It is, therfore, not surprising that so much time and energy is devoted to the process of learning this particular skill. Given the importance of advocacy, the Inns of Court School felt it necessary to produce a manual devoted entirely to the subject. This enlarged manual looks at the advocacy skills which are considered essential for the junior practitioner. However, it is not only junior practitioners who should benefit from the wealth of information contained therein; lawyers should generally find it useful as well. This manual is divided into several sections. The early chapters cover the preparation and presentation of legal submissions. The following chapters provide information for the junior practitioner, showing them how to set about the task of preparing opening or closing speeches and the examination and cross-examination of witnesses. The book has been written by experienced teachers and practitioners who are aware of the pitfalls that face practitioners. Their guidance offers insight into the criteria by which an advocate's performance might be judged.
