Expertise should match
the work being tested.

Barristers, solicitors and experienced advocates teach in their practice areas. Faculty are appointed per cohort and named before booking.

The brief comes
before the name.

Faculty experience is matched to the forum, exercise and participant level.

Forum
+ Task
+ Cohort

Relevant practice, sound judgment and a capacity to teach it.

Learn from people who
understand the forum.

Barristers

For exercises involving oral submissions, witness handling, hearings and professional judgment in court.

Solicitors

For qualification pathways and the transition from case preparation to advocacy on behalf of clients.

Experienced advocates

For tribunal and representative work where procedure, evidence and client context shape the hearing.

Expertise is only
the starting point.
