Advocacy identifies the many skills required to be a successful advocate and guides the student through practical explanations of how to master these essential skills. The manual begins by dealing with the fundamental abilities needed by the advocate and continues with an examination of how to make opening and closing speeches, plan and deliver the examination-in-chief and the cross-examination of witnesses and make the variety of applications and submissions that an advocate might be called on to make to a court or a tribunal. Specific questioning techniques are illustrated and the ethical obligations of the advocate are described. This accessible manual is written by experienced advocates and advocacy trainers. It refers to current good practice and procedure and by combining this with how-to-do-it guides and examples it allows students to gain confidence in a skill which many of them find intimidating.
