CPD

Our Interactive Seminars are held entirely remotely using Zoom online streaming.  This ensures your safety during the present public health crisis.

The Seminars take place in “real time” and you will participate fully by answering questions posed by the lecturers and by asking your own questions.  However, you will not need to attend class in person.

During the Course, you will be given detailed practical guidance on the law and practice governing applications for Mareva injunctions. We will discuss the obligations owed to the Court by applicants for ex parte injunctions and will consider the consequences of a breach of those obligations.

03 PREPARING AND PRESENTING CRIMINAL CASES 

Date: 12-3pm, Friday 18 September 2020

This presentation is designed to give a detailed and practical overview of the criminal trial process. In the context of a trial, we will examine what the advocate should do, how he should do it and why he should it.

Participants will be supplied with two case scenarios designed to facilitate a discussion of many aspects of the trial process in a factual context. The materials supplied will serve as a useful aide-memoire for both experienced advocates and those wanting to become more involved in criminal advocacy.
