In addition, it covers written advocacy in detail, including persuasive skeleton arguments and using jury bundles effectively.
Depending on the experience of the reader, this book helps the:
-new advocate by giving them insight into situations that arise frequently, with a proper understanding of their role, as well as advice on how to adapt their style to the witness or the Judge
-progressing advocate to develop skills with advice garnered from counsel of many years’ experience, such as sections dealing with witness handling and evidential submissions in more complex cases, including rape and serious sexual offences work, proceeds of crime applications, case conferences with the CPS and presenting documents to juries in larger cases
