General Advocacy Skills
A Foundation for Effective Advocacy This exciting program gives you the opportunity to practise trial techniques and strategies with the assistance of a faculty of experienced instructors who will offer constructive and practical suggestions to improve your advocacy. The AAI conducts all workshops in simulated courtroom sessions. You will receive immediate feedback on your performance from trained AAI Instructors and your performance will be videotaped for further individual review. Later, you will be able to repeat your performance to incorporate what you have learned. You will also benefit from seeing the other participants' performances and hearing their performance reviews. This supportive, noncompetitive simulation, together with faculty demonstrations, suggested readings and personal attention, helps you develop your own personal and highly effective style of advocacy. Designed for practitioners at all levels across all jurisdictions, this workshop involves instruction, performance and review of the skills, disciplines and techniques involved in good advocacy. You will use specially developed AAI materials to prepare a case study and to prepare to examine and cross examine witnesses. This workshop will provide theory and practical exercises in:
At an AAI workshop you receive the best possible advocacy skills training

instructive materials to enhance your competency and professionalism and give

They will bring their experience to your learning through their evaluations of your performance as well as by lecture and demonstration. Faculty members know there is no one correct way to present certain issues. They will help you find the technique that best fits your particular abilities and strengths.

This arrangement allows for intensive individual instruction. Travel and Accommodation Travel and accommodation are not included in the tuition and are the responsibility of each participant.
