Episode 1 - Introduction to how to become a better advocate

Sets out how this podcast series on the basics of Advocacy in Court can help you in your career as an advocate. Note these podcasts are about approaches, guidelines, suggestions. They are not about rules. The content will be helpful wherever you practice because the thinking about the issues in any case, how they can be approached, how to ask questions and make submissions, and how to deal with the stress that you, and your witnesses will experience, do not know boundaries of legal system, language, or background.

The topics discussed in the series are listed. The structure of the podcasts is laid out, including the background story of 'Jack and Jill that is used to illustrate the techniques, tips and explanations. The framework within which all court room advocacy - both for preparation and performance - must take place is discussed.

Each episode is about 15 minutes or less.

Depending on your experience and immediate needs you can dip in and out of episodes in any order that you please.

Hopefully what you learn from these episodes will allow you to develop a winning personal style of advocacy that will work well within the procedural and evidential rules that apply where you strive for the right result.

An easy to read and use, affordable, companion book with the same title Advocacy in Court: preparation and performance, by Hugh Selby, is available on Amazon Kindle.
