Description
Effective Written Advocacy: A Guide for Practitioners by Andrew Goodman. A highly focused approach to written advocacy can significantly improve your chances of winning a case before arriving at court. This comprehensive guide covers essential correspondence, negotiation, and argumentation techniques, including skeleton arguments, opening notes, closing submissions, and costs submissions. By mastering these skills, you'll be better equipped to present your case effectively. The importance of oral advocacy in deciding cases is not disputed, but judges increasingly form pre-trial opinions from written material, such as skeleton or opening notes. This book provides practical guidance and real-life examples from experienced advocates to help you navigate the complexities of written advocacy. With its focus on family and criminal cases, this second edition offers 17 new examples and a discussion on the application of written advocacy in these areas. With worked examples drawn from leading advocates, this guide is essential reading for both practitioners and students of litigation practice.
