Influencing the Judicial Mind: Effective Written Advocacy
The best of advice from practice and from jurisdictions which have a much longer history of written argument by
lawyers for the judiciary. | ||||||
| 2005 | Cloth | 280 pages | £48.00 | [ Add to basket ] |
The requirement to produce skeleton arguments has been with us for 10 years, but written advocacy remains in its infancy. Court of Appeal judges admit that cases are decided before oral argument on the strength of written advocacy. Throughout the civil justice system under the CPR the skill is vital – cases are won on lost on the advocate’s skill in their writing, not addressing the court orally.
This book provides practical advice on writing:
- inter partes correspondence;
- Part 36 Offers;
- skeleton arguments;
- written opening notes for trial;
- closing submissions;
- costs submissions; and much more.
Worked examples have been provided by leading practitioners so that readers can see best practice in action.
Leading practitioners have offered their assistance in producing a book of real authority. Invaluable for professional students and practitioners alike. The author is a practicing barrister and teacher of advocacy, mediation and other key legal skills.
