Special courses for newly qualified practitioners

In 2008 we will offer the following in-depth training courses for practitioners in their first five years of professional work:

• Duty Solicitor Training Programme
• Residential Property Transactions
• Introduction to Criminal Law
• Introduction to Civil Litigation Skills
• Introduction to Company Law
• Introduction to Family Law and Practice

They are designed to complement the skills-based practical legal training offered by the Institute of Professional Legal Studies and the College of Law, and to make a real difference to new practitioners. The courses concentrate on substantive knowledge, procedures and ethical issues as well as reviewing the relevant skills in the particular practice context involved.

Here is an opportunity to learn by example - see how experts do it and receive helpful hints from them. This is also an opportunity to learn by doing – practice in an ideal situation and receive constructive feedback.
