Basic Trial Advocacy Skills 2nd Edition

The main objective of this book is to provide a basic introduction to key aspects of trial advocacy for all courts and tribunals.

Trial advocacy is explained in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step way. Examples and supporting annexures from actual court cases are used to illustrate relevant principles, strategies and tactics. Apart from serving as a basic guide for newly-qualified lawyers, the book also benefits non-lawyers intimately involved in procedural justice, like police officials, social workers, NGO advice offices, student legal aid clinics, court reporters and paralegals.
