The Course is particularly suited to senior juniors who wish to hone their skills with the benefit of comments from coaches who include Supreme Court justices, Australian and International Senior Counsel and expert performance coaches.

A Federal Court brief is provided for preparation. Performances by the barristers are video-recorded and analysed in small group and one-on-one coaching sessions.

The emphasis is on developing each advocate’s strength in addressing, examining in chief and cross-examining.

People who have attended the course have referred to it as “seriously life-changing”. It is immensely rewarding for barristers wanting to perform at their best.
