About Us

Education by the profession for the profession

In offering this programme to the legal profession, we offer

  • high quality but affordable education
  • something for everyone - a range of courses across all practice areas, catering, in particular, for needs and interests not generally catered for by commercial providers
  • a wide range of different formats depending on the needs of the target group or the nature of the subject material - so we offer:
    - seminars
    - one-day intensives focused on areas of special interest
    - small-group, skills-based workshops
    - introductory courses for new practitioners
    - in-house training packages for firms, and
    - two-day conferences
  • as many courses in the smaller centres as is practicable
  • some seminars by video-conference session where there is widespread demand we can't satisfy by providing live sessions
  • top quality background materials containing the very latest developments in the given field of law
  • seminar presentations based on sound educational principles - notably the opportunity to apply the principles to realistic situations because this is the basis of any effective education

and above all…

  • presenters who are among the best experienced and most knowledgeable in the profession - where presenters come from outside the profession, then they will be drawn from the best possible available.
